Clear liquids pre op question

[mexicosleever88 30]

Thoughts on clear zero calorie/zero carb, carbonated beverages for pre op? I know post op carbonation is a NO NO. I'm on a 8 day clear liquid diet before surgery, a little fizz in my drink would go a long way right about now lol

My surgeon told me no carbonation pre & past op, including seltzer Water. I would say no, but check with your surgeon.

+1 for asking your surgeon/nut, but I would also agree that it's best to eliminate it now so you are also not struggling with these cravings post-op.

I'd say, give it up now. Carbonated drinks are not going to be your friend or go to drink after surgery. Best to say bye-bye now.
