I’ve had to go through quite a few medical procedures under anesthesia. I’ve been told by nurses that my having red hair, freckles, pale skin, and green eyes makes things a bit more complicated than other patients concerning anesthesia. I don’t know if this factors into the sugary drinks or not. I’m always offered a selection of juice when I wake up. I’ve also got a diabetic friend who uses juice for when their blood sugar gets low. Which made me wonder, since you have to fast before anesthesia, does the juice/soda have anything to do with blood sugar levels post procedure?

Juice is an easily digested food source to give you quick energy and some hydration. It’s basically the sugar but it will give you a little boost while you recover. And it feels good.
