ive seen a lot of people saying really good things about these kinds of drinks. I dont know exactly what g2 is so I would suggest sugar free and calorie free but I have heard they can help you feel lots better i plan on drinking some powerade 0 to see if i can shake this headache.

I am 10 weeks post op and still use it on occasion especially if it is really hot out and I am going to be outside. I drink the G2.

I have the small bottles of G2, 12 ounces, 30 calories, 7g sugar (seems like a lot of sugar for post op)......some days I drink 1/2 of a bottle that's been diluted with an equal amount of water.................but was under the impression that's only while on liquids....once on real food, that will be a thing of the past. Good luck!

Yup - G2 was a favorite after surgery. Still enjoy it if it's all I can find at a convenience store or something. No protein in it, but a lower calorie option for sleevers.

I love G2 - it was recommended to me for post-op by my surgeon. I especially love the G2 natural when I can find it.

I have always disliked drinks like G2, but after surgery my husband bought me some so I wouldn't get dehydrated, and I sort of craved it. I would dilute it. Now at over 6 months post op it doesn't really appeal to me anymore, but it was a great option when I was on full liquids. My surgeon recommends it for that phase.

One of the things I stopped doing before surgery and have so far been able to keep up and I think I have benefitted greatly from doing so is no soda, at all, sugar no sugar - nada.

Another is avoiding processed drinks. I just don't do them.

May I recommend you try a 2 liter container, chop up 2 lemons, several thin slices of cucumber and rough chop about a half cup of mint. let it set for at least 4- hours in the fridge. It's a refreshing burst of detox.

I drink the low-cal Gatorade every day. It's 75 calories for the 32 oz bottle. I drink it because I can't get my fluids in otherwise! I sometimes drink the zero cal Powerade but I don't prefer it. I find it too sweet.

G2 was recommended by my surgeon as well. I like it because it has electrolytes, when I don't drink it my legs start to cramp up. Plus, water makes me feel sick and the G2 doesn't.

I too drink G2 when it is needed but I have also started drinking Smart water because it has the electrolytes in it. Better than dumb water!! :)
