Can I consume sugar free drinks. Like coke zero, sprite zero?

I don't know what your nut or dr will say but I was told to not have carbonated beverages, so coke zero and sprite zero are out for me. You will have to ask but I believe it is best to stay away from carbonation. The sugar free part is fine. I generally drink Crystal Light or Bai water.

No, because of the carbonation in them. No soda or "sparkling" water types even if they are sugar free.

Most NUTS say no more carbonation, and was told to ditch caffeine until healed. The carbonation actually hurts, the phosphoric acid leaches minerals from your bones, and is caffeine is a diuretic and in the beginning you can easily dehydrate.

I have had half a glass of soda here and there but seriously have lost my desire/taste for it. I stick to ice tea, hot tea or crystal light, but mainly water - lots of water. Your taste buds change after surgery anyway. And the money you save on soda can go towards a new wardrobe!

It depends on how far out you are post-op. For a while, several months, carbonated soft drinks are out of the question. But you can do sugar-free Crystal Light in Water, and other sugar-free non-carbonated drinks
