Generally, the no sugar advice is the norm for those who have to do some kind of diet - however there is no "the" pre-op diet as the procedure itself doesn't have any such requirements (it only takes a few hours for the stomach to empty to be ready for surgery,) but some surgeons require more than that for a variety of reasons. It is best to check with your surgical team as to what they want you to do, as no one here can read your doc's mind as to his intentions.

    I agree with previous posters but just add one comment.

    Is mineral/soda Water something that you drink regularly? If it is I would reccommend ending that consumption now because after surgery you probably cant drink it anymore.

    If you have no issues stopping once you have surgery I would say enjoy in moderation as long as you check with your surgeon, dietician, and team first so you are in line for success.

    Thank you for that advice!

    It is something I drink regularly in replacement of water as I like the feel of the bubbles.

    I've heard it's difficult to tolerate after surgery so I'm not too bothered with stopping after the surgery.
