Hi everyone. I just got out of the hospital last night and I was wondering if anyone used coconut water on the liquids after surgery? I will probably call my surgeon later and ask for sure but it is clear and I read it hydrates better than water. My sleeve seems to do ok with it.

Did coconut water after surgery with my shakes. Just make sure it is pure coconut water not some of the sugary drinks

If you love coconut water try bai5 they have a coconut flavor and many others an it is only 5 calories per 8 oz and 10 calories for the bottle with 1 gram of suger about 3 dollars per bottle but very good and low in calories????

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?

@@downsizingdiva At out Walmart it's at the checkout line...I know weird. @@claudi2103 I will check that out! @@Williams3909 I checked out the ingredient first because I know how tricky company's can be this ones ingredence is only 100% Coconut water. Nothing added They can't get me!!

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.
