pedialyte



Recommended Posts

For those needing to get electrolytes after a hard workout, race or just from sleeve related dehydration, pedialyte is a good alternative to Gatorade at 10 calories/8 oz. It can be found at most stores that carry Vitamins and minerals.

Smart Water is also electrolyte enhanced. It's not a bad idea to make this part of your daily intake to keep things balanced during a low calorie consumption. There are also Mio electrolyte enhanced drops available.

Personally, I gag on pedialyte.. Reminds me of my college hangover days when I'm trying to get through the next day of classes ;-)

Yeah, I agree it is a little like drinking cough Syrup. To me, not so bad. I have drunk worse (eg MOM). Thanks for the other suggestions. I'll check them out. Does the Mio enhanced drops have caffeine in them? I prefer not to get something that also has caffeine in it because I already get my daily caffeine from a cup of coffee.

It says 0mg caffeine/ serving. So I'm guessing it contains less than a gram so they can claim 0. Pretty sure it doesn't have enough for you to tell though.

I use it in my smart Water because I'm a big baby about drinking plain water even while at gym.

I notice you're from LS.. I'm from Kenmore. I hope we all can maybe have a PNW picnic or something one day. Or support meetings once in awhile.

That would be great! My wife and I love picnics. Might I suggest the Seattle Woodland Park Zoo, over the summer so at least it will not be raining. LOL!

Did you get you surgery done at Swedish WLS Center or another WLS center? I have also heard NWWLS center in south Everett / mill creek area is also very good (off of I5 at 128th).

I've had all my surgeries in MX.. Well except the urgent ones to remove the band. And isn't "not raining in Seattle" an oxymoron? J/K I love WA and it would be great to get people and families together at Woodland Park

"Raining in seattle" is a misnomer. Statistically, the least amount of rain occurs on August 1st.

My favorite weather academic Cliff Mass summarizes it quite nicely:

Lol.. Like that link! But they forgot to put shorts, socks and sandles for summer... Or at least flip flops. It's so true that we change our clothes according to the calendar and not the weather

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
