Post Op Diet-Clear Liquids

Sleeve/Gastric Bypass/SIPS/ESG/Band – Clear Liquid Diet

Band Patients:  Non-carbonated clear liquids for the first 24 hours after surgery

Sleeve/RNY/Overstitch/SIPS/ESG:  Non-carbonated clear liquids for the first week after surgery

The ultimate goal of on clear liquids is to consume 48-64 ounces per day, from the recommended list below.

In addition to calorie-free clear liquids, you should be consuming diluted juices (2 oz juice/2 oz water) or diluted non-diet sports drinks (2 oz beverage/2 oz water) every 3 hours. This will help to prevent your blood sugar from going low and give you a little energy.  (Total undiluted juice should be no more than 8 ounces in a day –  that equals 16 ounces of fluids once diluted.)

  • Diluted Fruit Juice (2 oz juice/2 oz water)
    • Grape, cranberry, or apple ONLY (100% juice or no added sugar)
  • Diluted regular Gatorade or Powerade (2 oz beverage/2 oz water)

Recommended Choices for Clear Liquid Diet- (2 oz every 15 mins)

  • Clear broth or Bouillon – chicken, beef, or vegetable
  • Water or ice chips
  • Crystal Light or Sugar-free Kool-Aid
  • Decaf Tea and Coffee (NutraSweet, Splenda, Sweet-n-low, Stevia allowed)
  • Sugar-free gelatin
  • Propel Zero, Powerade Zero, or Gatorade Zero
  • Sugar-free popsicles
  • Sugar-free Italian Ice
  • Bariatric Advantage Clear Protein Drink (Journeylite)
  • Journeylite Supplements:  Fruit Drinks, Protein Bouillon, and Hot Beverages (made with 8oz water)

Avoid:

  • Carbonated beverages
  • Sugary drinks
  • Caffeinated beverages
  • Avoid citrus (orange, grapefruit, pineapple) and tomato juices.

No juice drinks, juice cocktails or undiluted 100% juices
