I go to my appointment next week and i will discuss this with the Dr. also.

i thought i would get ideas from people here also.

I will have to go on a 5 day liquid diet (not sure exactly what that will be, i will find out at my appointment).

from what i have read, most that have gone on a liguid diet have used a lot of sugar free products.

I cannot have ANY artificial sugars, including splenda and stevia (sp?). it all gives me migraines.

are there other things that i can have? would real fruit bars be ok?

even low-fat/no fat yogurts that have no artificial sugar has a lot of sugar (32 or 33 per 8 oz for the kind i normally buy).

i want to do well at the pre op (and of course the post op) diets but want to prepare myself ahead of time with choices. i don't want to have the same things all day long for who knows how many WEEKS. that will get old and Harder to make it through the liquid/mushy days!

any ideas?! thanks!!

heres a list of sugars that are tolerated:

fructose (from fruits and veggies)

lactose (milk and dairy)

aspartame

acesulfame k

isomalt

stevia

saccharin

Hope this list helps
