I'm nervous about the first week after surgery. Since its hard to get fluids down at first I am not sure what is better, Gatorade? Protein like Isopure (zero carb ones in a bottle)? Is it ok to not have that much protein the first few days and focus on staying hydrated? Just not sure!!

All my dr wanted me to focus on the first week was staying hydrated with any Clear liquids.

I agree lots of liquids and sip all of the time. I don't start protein drinks until one week out.

Gatorade I loved the G2, water, it is more important for your body to have the hydration for healing.

And remember, DON't Prebuy a lot of stuff!!! Your taste buds will change!! My hubby was so proud of himself by stocking up on my favorite drinks and now I can't tolerate them. .

He meant well so he got lots of kudos.
