Fantastic Calorie-Free Drinks before Bariatric Diet

Some calorie-free options for drinks in the clear liquid pre-op bariatric diet are:

• • Vita Rain is a good option. It has 0 calories, 0 sugar, 0 carbs and some of our clients report it tastes much better than Vitaminwater zero.
  • Other options are Crystal Light and Propel.
  • You could mix orange juice with water in the ratio of 1:3.
  • You could also have mint tea with zero-calorie sweetener.

Nutritionist Suggests- Liquid Diet Before Bariatric Surgery

Our US-registered bariatric nutritionist recommends:

• • Decaf tea
  • Coffee
  • Diluted juice
  • Broth
  • Sugar-Free Jell-O
  • Sugar-Free popsicles

You may not be able to find an actual “sugar-free” juice but avoid any sugar added varieties. Try to keep calories to less than 60 calories per cup (8oz).

Liquid Diet Ideas Before Gastric Sleeve

In the pre-op gastric sleeve diet, you can do a low-calorie Gatorade (G2), Powerade 0, Crystal Light, diet juice (juice that has less than 30 calories for an 8 oz serving). Ocean Spray makes several varieties of diet juice, and many of theirs have five calories for an 8 oz serving.
