My surgeon requires a two day clear liquid diet but I started today.

Is crystal light tea considered a clear liquid?

I am thinking that is not a good choice due to the caffeine in tea and the aspartame and sucralose. What about the other flavors of crystal light?

I am excited and nervous!! Any tips/advise is much appreciated!

Anyone else getting sleeved Monday?

@@YourFriendJess If you can see through it it clear! Good luck Monday!

Crystal light is probably okay but check with your doctor or nutritionist about the tea. Many times they want patient's off of caffeine. Diluted apple juice (at least 50%) might be a safer alternative.

Today is post op day 2 and I am doing well. No pain, nausea, or gas issues. But it is hard for me to stay awake...I am a professional napper. LOL. Also having a hard time getting in my fluids .... I have been sipping on an isopure all day.... Any advise?

Congrats on a successful surgery. I read a lot about people doing water with the protein powder. Kills two birds with one stone

Take it slow. As the anesthesia and pain meds wear off you'll be more awake. However make the best of when you are awake and walk. When you're not walking, sip. Isopure or water, get your fluids and protein in.
