Question:
I have surgery tomm and today is all clear liquid

I start my clear liquid diet to prepare for surgery tomm morning. However I know I cant eat but I cant find the sheet that list what I can have. I belive juice is on there. I have Dr Machado and Dr Wolfe if that helps any? I was hoping I could have lemonaid? Any idea thanks guys. KEl    — kelly H. (posted on October 5, 2003)

My doc said that I cound have anything I could hold up to a light & see thru. I would think that lemonade was ok :)

Hi. I believe Kathy is right. Anything that you can see through. You can have clear broth. It would seem more like a meal. Anyway, I just wanted to say Congratulations!!!! and Good Luck!!! I am one month post op and very happy I had the surgery.

Stay away from regular lemonade (pulp) use Crystal Light or some other form (Koolaide). Tea is fine, broth is fine, of course water - now that's yummy huh? Even lemon jello is ok but stay away from anything red. Apple juice is ok, NOT apple cider (again-some pulp). CONGRATS on the surgery. Will keep you in my thoughts and wish you an uneventful surgery and speedy recovery.
