Breeg89 1 Posted December 29, 2012 Feel really weak can we drink Gatorade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveNZ 219 Posted December 29, 2012 Not on my plan but everyone seems to have a diff set of rules.. How about Powerade zero or a sugarfree alternative. If you need some kind of sugar though try V8 diluted 1:2 or apple juice diluted 1:5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boston George 84 Posted December 29, 2012 Feel really weak can we drink Gatorade I was able to do Gatorade G2, the low cal, low sugar. That went down fine. Grape or berry was my fav, it really helps with your electrolytes 1 bigtigger1010 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
srs82781 83 Posted December 29, 2012 Smart Water as just as much electrolytes as Gatorade and its just water so that might help.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lhollingsworth 54 Posted December 29, 2012 I am allowed to have G2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGamer 406 Posted December 29, 2012 I lived on Propel for a while, so I'd imagine any sugar free version of Gatorade would be just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lco26 3 Posted December 29, 2012 If you had the surgery very recently (which I'm guessing you did), I think a little VERY WATERED DOWN Gatorade would be fine. I had some Vitamin Water and Vitamin Water Zero after surgery, as my mom was scared I wasn't getting enough water or calories. However, keep in mind that sooner than you think you'll be able to eat and drink almost anything -- and you don't want Gatorade to be a big part of your diet then, so don't get "hooked." (Or avoid it if it you think this is a big possibility.) I remember when I was feeling really miserable one day I went to a soda fountain and got 1/8 of Lipton Raspberry Ice Tea with lots of ice and water. Lifted my spirits and tasted like heaven, but I wouldn't do that now that I don't "need" it. Hope that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cataro 39 Posted December 29, 2012 G2 and Propel zero were life savers right after surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delta_girl 931 Posted December 29, 2012 I really like the Powerade Zero. G2 has a lot more carbs. I don't know the names of the flavors, but the blue, purple and red are pretty darn good. 1 ssriley reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MPrado 19 Posted December 29, 2012 I like the propel zero powder packets and add it to smart Water. It is slightly less sweet(due to ratio), but has been a lifesaver to get all my fluids in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VSGRachel 25 Posted December 30, 2012 I don't know if I was ever supposed to drink Gatorade but I did and still do. It was a lifesaver. But I chose to drink G2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeauxForIt 659 Posted December 30, 2012 I had Pedialite (the grape is the best) the 1st few weeks after surgery bc I felt so weak. It really helped, but I knew I couldn't do it long term. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
