Best to call up your doctor's clinic and ask them. We all have different diets set for us by the doctor based on our weight and other criteria. Doddie

I doubt you should drink it. If it has 118 cal which is not what you want on the pre-op. The reason why they allow tea or coffee is that they have virtually no calories.

If it was just the matcha tea I would likely, but this sounds like a prepared drink made with matcha tea and other ingredients.

The idea of the pre-op is to limit you to about 1000cal per day.

After you are banded you dont want to be drinking 118 calorie drinks because they add up fast. If you had 2 a day that is about 20% of your calories for the day.

I would stay away from it.

This drink was recommended to me by Donna D. Nestea with Spenda. I buy the field berry an all natural fruit flavour with a splash of real tea. I put one packet into a bottle of Water shake it and have a wonderful refreshing drink. 5 calories. Doddie
