My daughter in law is a vegetarian and truly the healthiest human being I've ever known..in so many ways. She takes her health very seriously. She SWEARS by coconut Water. I think I'll pick some up. Thanks!

Oh and in case anyone is wondering I got the O.N.E coconut Water at Walmart it's kinda pricey 33.8 oz for 4-5 bucks but as little as we can drink it's really not that bad at all. It have 45 cal for a cup and 10 total carbs with 8 grams of sugar. It's also high in potassium and is fat/Gluten free. I drink it ice cold and I love it!

what department is it in?

My NUT lets me use it. I mix it with Water and sip. She said it's great to help prevent dehydration and better than drinking low cal Gatorade with the sweeteners in it. Just not a lot. 1-2 tbsp per 3/4 cup water.

Isopure makes a clear Protein in coconut that I like a lot. Coconut flavor plus 40 grams ! of Protein in a 20 oz bottle. I find the protein a little heavy, so I mix it 50/50 with a no-calorie fruit Water.

Coconut Water didn't sit well for me during the first month but if you can tolerate it, it's wonderful and so healthy! Natural electrolytes too!!!

I am so glad you guys posted on this. I was feeling very dehydrated the first day home after surgery, I went out and bought a bottle of coconut Water in hopes that it would work, and wow I feel so much better and I sip on it all day. I try and drink regular water too, but its not as easy to drink as the coconut water...

YAY for coconut! :)

I drink it because I dislike bananas and I can't have gatorade or other sports drinks due to the artificial dyes and sugars in them. It's a good source of natural minerals and electrolytes.

I can't remember the last time I drank cow's milk. I only drink Almond Milk or Rice milk. I am particular about the brands I drink as well. I prefer Almond Breeze unsweetened almond milk or Rice Dreams unsweetened. I was discharged on full liquids so I mixed my Protein powders with these.

I was told coconut Water is great especially if your losing fluids or not getting enough. It has potassium which is vital. I was told to make my first Protein Drink mixed with coconut water. I am post op as well.

I really can't do the coconut Water flavor. I tried. Really tried. I thought everyone was crazy when they said that your tastes change after the surgery but I'm a believer now. Some of the shakes I bought I can not stand the taste of them and I loved them before.

      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.

      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! 😞
