Dose anyone know if we can drink gatorade



Recommended Posts

Not on my plan but everyone seems to have a diff set of rules.. How about Powerade zero or a sugarfree alternative. If you need some kind of sugar though try V8 diluted 1:2 or apple juice diluted 1:5

Feel really weak can we drink Gatorade

I was able to do Gatorade G2, the low cal, low sugar. That went down fine. Grape or berry was my fav, it really helps with your electrolytes

Smart Water as just as much electrolytes as Gatorade and its just water so that might help....

I lived on Propel for a while, so I'd imagine any sugar free version of Gatorade would be just fine.

If you had the surgery very recently (which I'm guessing you did), I think a little VERY WATERED DOWN Gatorade would be fine. I had some Vitamin Water and Vitamin Water Zero after surgery, as my mom was scared I wasn't getting enough water or calories. However, keep in mind that sooner than you think you'll be able to eat and drink almost anything -- and you don't want Gatorade to be a big part of your diet then, so don't get "hooked." (Or avoid it if it you think this is a big possibility.)

I remember when I was feeling really miserable one day I went to a soda fountain and got 1/8 of Lipton Raspberry Ice Tea with lots of ice and water. Lifted my spirits and tasted like heaven, but I wouldn't do that now that I don't "need" it. Hope that helps.

G2 and Propel zero were life savers right after surgery.

I really like the Powerade Zero. G2 has a lot more carbs. I don't know the names of the flavors, but the blue, purple and red are pretty darn good.

I like the propel zero powder packets and add it to smart Water. It is slightly less sweet(due to ratio), but has been a lifesaver to get all my fluids in!

I don't know if I was ever supposed to drink Gatorade but I did and still do. It was a lifesaver. But I chose to drink G2.

I had Pedialite (the grape is the best) the 1st few weeks after surgery bc I felt so weak. It really helped, but I knew I couldn't do it long term.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
