We use juice - but it comes from dietary already diluted 50% juice and 50% water. We have had no problems with dumping.

I recently started as a Bariatric Dietitian and was approached by one of our surgeons with an issue. Currently our patients are receiving a clear liquid tray containing juice (we recommend to dilute with water), tea, broth, and sugar-free jello post op day 1 and 2 in the hospital. The surgeon is very concerned about the patients receiving juice on their tray as he thinks some have experienced dumping syndrome, however the food service department is not agreeable to add Crystal Light as it is too expensive. What are other people providing at their hospitals? Have you run into similar problems? Thanks.

We also supply juice (apple) on the tray. Patients are instructed to

dilute it, but since they only sip 1 ounce over an hour, even

undiluted it would supply only about 4 grams of carbohydrate, over the

hour (pretty unlikely to dump on that!) No juices after the first week.

We also provide juice (instructed to dilute with water) as well.

We have recently switched from diluted juice to Isopure Fruit Beverage and so far it's been well received by the patients. es RDMills Peninsula Health Services1501 Trousdale DriveBurlingame, CA 94010650.696.5779 (phone)650.985.3014 (pager)monicamartinesrd@...

Mmmm... cost of Crystal Light compared with the revenue a bariatric patient brings into the hospital, not to mention the importance of following an appropriate diet with the correct products.
