I'm not sure about v8, but g2 or flavored waters are ok. sugar free Jello and broth too.

Try the Vitamin Water Zero. It comes in several flavors, I like the orange and lemonade. It's sweetened with stevia. I mix it half and half with water and it makes it easier to drink.

V8 is on my full liquid diet.

I got tired of plain Water very quickly but I found the zero calorie Koolaid drops in the grocery by all the water flavorings and it changed everything. With the kool-aid flavoring I can drink water all day long and it goes down so easy. I've tried all of the flavors but I like the cherry the best. Give it a try and it might help you.

V8 juice

V8 juice is good, but it has 110 calories. I have done well with Truade lemonade,0 calories or Minute Maid lemonade with 15 calories. I also like green tea super fruit hot.

What stage are you at? If you're full liquids, I'd say go for it, but otherwise I'd leave it be. The calories don't contribute enough Protein to be worth it, IMHO.

V8 has 50 calories per 8 ounces...

I drank V8 and V8 fusion while on full liquids. Not huge amounts but some. I logged everything religiously in MyFitnessPal so did not go over my calorie and carb limits. They were on my list of approved drinks -- did your team give you a list?

Other things on my list were: G2, Powerade Zero, Water with Crystal Light or Mio added in, skim milk, light or diluted fruit juice, Decaf coffee and tea, broth, and low fat creamed Soups (any chunks had to be strained out).
