have a few questions so i can prepare and so can my hubbie for when i get home….
1 – can i drink V8 Fusion Acai Berry juice after surgery and while on liquid diet? it says 23 g of sugar in 1 cup of juice but it says 100% fruit and vegetables with no added sugar. no fat and some protein.
2 – can i have apple sauce and what kind?
3 – when they say liquid diet for 2 weeks till i see dr tang…can anyone suggest ideas please?

Hey Lisa. I would stay away from the juice. You are supposed to have less than 5g of sugar and from my understanding that is any sugar not just refined sugars because it can cause dumping. I will let the post ops tell you for sure though.

Hi Lisa:
Answers to your questions:
1. ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!
2. Apples sauce after 2 to 3 weeks – Unsweetened (make sure it has less than 5 grams of sugar per serving or cut your serving size down to make the sugar consumed 5 grams or less)
3. Check out the Surgery resources tab at the top of the page or search previous posts re liquid diet. There is lots of info previously posted.
Here's a good starting point for diet info after surgery:

Good luck with the surgery and keep us posted. If you have other questions, ask away or feel free to call me.
Ron

V8 "Fusion" Acai Berry juice is NOT V8 juice. It has way more sugar in it. If you stick to "regular V8, you'll be fine – NOT Fusion though.
