Hi y'all,

I am getting banded on January 8th and I have a question about V-8 juice. Is this appropriate for the liquid stage? I like it but I don't know if it's too "heavy" a liquid for this stage. Also, could it be used eventually as a way of getting veggy nutrition if I drink it before starting to eat?

Thanks for your thoughts,

Susan

You will not have any problem with V-8 juice. The instructions are to sip (very little amounts) into your mouth. Swish the juice around your mouth and enjoy the flavor while it warms up. Then let it slide down, slow, small amounts. It my help if you pretend what you are eating and drinking is the most costly thing you have ever had. Savor it.

I really like V-8, but I didn't drink it right away after surgery becasue it's very acidic. I try to have it everyday to help get my veggies in. :) It does have a lot of sodium though...

My doctor said it was appropriate for just after surgery (he goes straight to full liquids, no clear liquid phase). Even the spicy one. The point is to not make the stomach churn, not to avoid flavor.

As with anything on this forum, if your doc's advise differs, of course go with that. Otherwise, enjoy!
