clear liquids

I had my surgery already and I am now on the liquid stage for

Two weeks. Can apple juice be ok as a clear liquid.

 

 

I am not sure if apple juice is, but my nut was okay with watered down white grape juice in the early phase.

My doctor told me to stay away from anything with sugar.

I've read you have to be careful with fruit juices because of the sugar content. You should be sure and dilute them at least 50/50 if you do try it. And just sip a little to see how you tolerate it.

Thanks

My plan doesn't allow any fruit juices because of the sugar content and high calorie count.  Crystal Light is delicious and zero calories.  I'd suggest that over fruit juice.  

what about Tea?? can sugar be added? I cannot drink plain tea... YUCK

 

I wouldn't put sugar in or on anything - but sweetener is allowed.  I use Splenda but there are several products out there to sweeten thinks up!   

Can I ask you how long did you have to do clear liquids before your surgery and I read that someone said that while she was on a diet before the surgery if she gained even one pound they would postpone did they tell you the same thing?

I already had my surgery. Had to do protein shakes and protein bars and steamed vegetables and clear liquids two weeks before surgery
