Has anyone tried diluted Gatorade during the weeks when Water has a funny taste? I tried the sugar free and it's nasty but if the hospital gave me diluted apple juice figured diluted Gatorade might help the hydration.

Not a fan of the G2 from Gatorade, but the Powerade Zero is pretty ok.

I take my Powerade and add egg whites to it to give it some Protein. It does not change the taste and I able to make my protein goals

I drank G2 during the post op phase and will still drink it if I feel like I'm a little dehydrated (last Friday, had a business trip out of town in a single day and had a G2 before getting on the second plane.)

I never bothered to Water it down because I drink more fluids if they taste good. Since the surgery I'm not nearly as likely to drink plain Water. I don't know why, but I don't sweat it. I just add a crystal light or something.

Why would you dilute the Gatorade? I drank it regular. I couldn't handle regular Water. No matter what the temperature.

I was trying to lower the sugar content. But it's low compared to most drinks. I just can't stand the artificial sugar taste. I was fine with crystal light first couple weeks then it tasted funny too. And regular Gatorade seems to sweet full strength now. Just wondering if anyone had dumping issues from not diluting it.

I drink G2 gatorade everyday, I buy the 16.9oz and drink 1/2 of it everyday, maybe you can add a sugar free drop in to give it some flavor. I didnt like it at first but I have been drinking them everyday since surgery.

The server size you would be ingesting is just so low is why I was wondering. I think you just need to find whatever works for you to get your liquids in. For me, plain Water was intolerable, but I was able to drink Gatorade (undiluted). I wasn't worried about the sugar as I knew over the course of the day, in the grand scheme of things, it would be minimal. I was sleeved, so I don't know what the tolerance levels for dumping are, but I can't imagine a Gatorade would set off a dumping session, but that is merely conjecture.

I agree with you, the sugar-free or sugar substitute stuff is just plain nasty. With my restriction, I can't get enough of it for me to worry about, so I don't.

Ohh I'll look for that. So far slightly diluted Gatorade isn't making me sick. And easier to drink than Water.

I cant handle High Fructose Corn Syrup, etc.-- that's what makes me feel sick. Or Sucralose (Splenda), blech.

So far I can handle it if it's a lower sugar greek yogurt and diluted fruit juice which they gave me in the hospital. Any more and I get queasy and I really don't want to get hooked on super sweet stuff again.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
