Question:
What types of drinks can you buy or juices that don't have sugar. Everything seems to
have sugar in them. Also yoguart has sugar. Can we have some sugar after surgery if it is in yogart or diet snapple etc. I know crystal light doesn't but is there others. Name brands please. — JUDY E. (posted on February 28, 2001)

Pre-op: All fruit has it's own natural sugar, that's where fructose comes
from. Even juices that are 100% juice will have sugar naturally. I try to
make sure that I buy products that have no ADDED sugar and if it's juice,
make sure it says 100% juice. Juicy juice is the cheapest but they have
only a few choices. Flavored yogurt usually has sugar added, however, you
can get plain yogurt and add your own fruit, this way you can get fresh
fruit which is better. I know locally there is a yogurt brand called
Mountain High. I think they have some flavors without added sugar. All
yogurt is dairy based so it will have some natural sugar in it. Please be
careful of anything that's "sugar free", my surgeon says that
most artificial sweeteners are appetite enhancers. You don't want to trade
the sugar for something worse. Hope that helps.

I drink a lot of Crystal Light (any of their flavors) and also V-8 Splash
has a "diet" version that is pretty good.

Wyler's makes a rasberry punch type drink thats sugar free and tasty. I
personally love Crystal Light Iced Tea. Also, for yogurt, Axel Rod makes a
fat free, sugar free yogurt thats yummy. Also La Yogurt Lite, (Be careful
for they also make other types that have sugar) is tasty.

I was told to keep my sugar intake to 6 grams per serving or less. I drink
Crystal Light, Sugar-free Kool-aid, flavored de-caff ice-tea, flavored
watered, or anything with fewer and 6 grams sugar. Splenda is a great new
sweetner that you can try too, if you want to sweetener up somethings.

more.

Ocean Spray now has low calorie cranberry drinks sweetened w/splenda. Also
Langers Low Cal Grapefruit Juice sweetened w/splenda. Both very tasty
& make a nice change from water. Great in the mornings to wash down
those vitamins with.

I would also like to recommend the low calorie V-8 splash. I enjoy the
berry blend. Just be sure it is the low calorie as the regular must be
sugar water for all the sugar. Good Luck!

Blue Bunny (yes, it is the company who makes WONDERFUL icecream) has a fat
free, sugar free yogurt. I have found it at my Super Wal-Mart. They have
19 different flavors. I also drink Diet Snapple (I have only found two
flavors: Cranberry Raspberry and Orange Carrot) on occassion when I feel
the desire for something other than water. I couldn't STAND the orange
carrot but LOVE the Cranberry Raspberry. Of course, I do drink Crystal
Light and decaf tea... but find that I crave water more than anything these
days (which is TRULY funny since I would definitely reach for a Diet Dr
Pepper or any other type of carbonated beverage before the surgery.)
