G2...has Anyone Used This First Week Out From Surgery?



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
