Hi all! I'm on day 3 of the pre-op diet and have to drink two bottles of Isopure on the day before surgery. Does anyone have any recommendations on flavors they like or didn't like? Thanks in advance!

I like it if it's ice cold over ice (redundant much?) and cut with water by 50%. And my favorites are the fruit punch, green tea and the grape.

Thanks! I think I might go with fruit punch and grape.

Grape is like medicine. Fruit punch is yummy

Good to know! I might stick with fruit punch, just to be safe.

We have the apple melon, found it at Costco. My teenage daughter likes it- tastes like candy.

Can anyone put up a list of the pre up clear liquids.. My surgery is in may since my surgeon is so backed up in appointments. But i would like to do a clear liquid diet to see if i can loose more weight.

I like black tea lemon flavor.

I was at Costco today so I picked up the Apple Melon flavor and it's pretty good—tastes like green apple candy!

I don't think there is a "standard" list. I only had clear liquids for a couple days post of, nothing preop. Generally a bariatric clear diet would include sugar free beverages- usually non-carbonated and possibly decaf, clear broths, and possibly sugar free gelatins. A clear diet is extremely low in calories and is usually used pre/post op as surgery prep or while early stage healing.

A full liquid diet would include a wider variety of options including protein drinks and smooth soups.
