Hi All,

I start my 1 day Pre-Op tomorrow. (Clear Liquids).

This may be a silly question, but if I drink tea (with NO milk), am I allowed

to have any sugar or artificial sweetners in it?

Yikes!:omg:

I think sugar or artificial sweeteners are fine, but I wouldn't do the milk. Clear liquids are considered something you can hold up to the light and see through it. Milk doesn't fall into that category. Good luck to you and let us know how you're doing.

So, I'll guess that sugar free Jello is ok as well, right? Closest thing to 'food' I'll get the day before.

:faint:

Sherilynn - when is your surgery? I am having mine on Tues, Jan 30th.

Hi, Ruthie Here from Saint Louis. My surgery is scheduled 2/1. I start pre-op on Sat. for 5 days. I was told I could have coffee, tea, sugar free jello, apple juice, popicles, gatorade and add isopure protein power to my food getting 50grams daily. I also need a chewable multi vit and calcuim 1000mg a day.

I have heard alot of folks here saying they REALLY like the chewable VIACTIV multi's in chocolate. Good luck on your surgery. I hope to get banded this spring sometime.

Yes, you can have sugar or sweetners. You can also have creamy soups if you get really hungry.
