Just wondering if anyone is drinking this? I only like one flavor of the Powerade zero and it’s getting kind of old.

G2 is better than real Gatorade....but it still has 45 calories per bottle that come from high fructose corn syrup per 20 ounces.....not a great choice.

Have you tried the Mio flavors? They're worth a try, lots to choose from:)

Best wishes.

Zero Calorie Stuff I like to drink:

Water

Mio Berry Grape, Orange, Black Cherry (I like the original sucralose flavors...the stevia flavors tastes ghastly to me...avoid the flavors enhanced with caffeine)

Sugar Free Hot Cider

Lemon Ginger tea with Splenda

Decaf coffee with Caramel Premier Protein (ok, this has calories...but the good kind)

Roasted Dandelion root tea

Toasted Rice tea

Citrus Lavender Sage tea

Sugar free Kool Aid pink lemonade mixed with Iced Tea

I also like to drink water that has had fruit pieces soaking in it like lemon water, raspberry water.....and even cucumber water tastes refreshing and good.

I drink G2 and Regular Gatorade.....down 33 since pre-op three week diet and I'm a almost two weeks post op. Had my check up and my doctor's was like " good....this works for you so you're fine"....

The problem with drinking sugar, in particular high fructose corn syrup...is that it will cause an insulin spike that will set off hunger....big nasty cycle. Also, those empty calories don't have a lot of nutrition at a time when we're at risk for nutritional deficiency. I love sugary drinks, but they can't be a part of my diet anymore. Refined high glycemic carbs murder me on the scale.

Love them...they hate me. LOL:) Once in a while I'll have about 75 calories worth of sweet refined naughty goodness on a special occasion...but it's not a daily thing.

Congrats on being down 33 pounds since your preop diet..that's terrific!

My surgeon actually tells me to drink G2. I flat out told them I drink regular Gatorade from time to time. Not fond of Powerade Zero or G2.

However, I do love Vitamin Water. I drink that more than Gatorade but switched back to drinking flavored water after two months of drinking Kombucha. Good stuff right there, good stuff.

Thank you so much for all the suggestions! I haven’t been keeping down food well, and I did test dehydrated so I’m looking for something to replace the electrolytes. I’m not concerned about the calories at this point since I’ve lost 26 lbs in 15 days (since surgery). I was doing pedialyte, but it’s not super great and getting kind of costly. I do like sugar free kool aid so I’ll definitely get some of that. I’ve never tried the Mio. I’ll look into that as well.

FYI: just figured out how to add stats lol

Or not. WTH?

I’ve got to ask how you added your stats at the bottom. I’ve tried adding it to the signature section, but it never takes. Same with putting a picture in there.

I wouldn't get into the habit of drinking your calories. If it gets you by in the early stages when trying to get all your fluids in, great. But take it from a veteran, it's the absolute fastest way to gain weight back. The poster above is right, try to stick to no calorie fluids as much as possible. After all, we have very limited real estate in our tummies. Why fill it with unhealthy, empty calories?

I like Premier Protein Clear from Sam's. 20 g of protein. Sometimes I cut it with half water.

Pickle juice helps with electrolytes!

I just went into settings through the app and where it says "Signature" I added everything right there, then saved it.

I’ve tried that and it won’t work for me. I even tried on the laptop and nope. :( It just keeps trying to validate my session. Oh well. Still working out the kinks with the update I suppose.

I picked up some Mio, sf koolaid, vitamin water and regular Gatorade. I know it’s not the best choice, but I get REALLY dehydrated. And since I haven’t been able to keep down more than 300 calories a day since day 5 (I’m 15 days out) a little hunger spike would be good for me. I’ve already lost 26 lbs in 15 days and 81 lbs since I started my NUT visits. Don’t get me wrong, I love the weight loss, but I don’t want to end up starving myself. Thanks for letting me know it’s working well for you. Made me feel much better. Good job on the weight loss too! That’s awesome!

You're good....everyone's an expert...do what works until you can regulate it freely. Have to be hydrated....that's not an option....
