make sure you get the low calorie kind i drink it diluted in my bottle of water the regular gatorade has alot of carbs. also they both have sodium. It helps keep me hydrate. now i use mio to help favor the water.

I drank grape g2 from the beginning. I didn't like water right after surgery and drink mixins gave me heartburn. It is on our list that we can have it starting wk 2

I used it from the beginning too. Loved it! It was approved by by NUT. I couldn't tolerate water then, even though I love water. I'm 7 weeks out and still have trouble with water.

I used it as well from one week out grape low calorie. I have it in the fridge right now :)

Best to you

Give Powerade Zero a try. I think it tastes better than the Gatorade G2 and it's calorie free. I've been drinking it since week one. I love the grape and fruit punch but it also comes in lemon lime, orange, strawberry and (I think) blue raspberry.

I used the G3-Recover. It's the highest protein and tastes pretty good. It is not sugar free, but at this point, who worries about calories? You're taking in so little. I got it at Walmart in the powdered protein section. ttp://www.gatorade.com/default.aspx#product?s=recover

My doctor's gave me Gatorade for my long drive home after surgery (several hours). They had me sipping it. I used it for several weeks and I did not have the dehydration or shakes that many get shortly after surgery. I agree that you are taking in so few calories, don't stress about what is in Gatorade!

Best of luck!

I need it once in a while for potassium. I use the zero products now.

I used g2 the 1st wk out and it helped prevent dehydration.

G2 was approved for me from the moment I left the hospital. Grape G2 was a savior as I didn't care for water or mix-ins at first. I also never struggled with dehydration issues. Grape G2 is still diet staple almost a year out.

Good luck-

Amanda
