LipstickLady 25,682 Posted May 19, 2013 I'm drinking! I'm drinking! I'm drinking! And it's not getting stuck!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!! I am not burping it right back up!! It's not causing tummy heaves or mouth sweats. I'm drinking!!!! So, should I Water down my gatorade?I like it better than Crystal light, I've had less than 50 calories in 3.5 days and for today, I think I need to take what I can get. I don't mind it watered down but I do think I need the electrolytes Crystal Light won't provide. Did I tell you that I am finally drinking??? 6 MIJourney, SheWins1, PhoenixTheDiva and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aquitenonnymouse 206 Posted May 19, 2013 YAY!!! You need more calories, though. Try light fruit juice for a couple of your hour's worth of liquid. ALSO- you need Protein. Make up a Protein shake with 2%-whole milk and Protein powder. My nutritionist said that when you're just doing liquid, it's really easy to not get enough dietary fat, which can slow down weight loss and generally be bad for you. I was instructed to have 3c of milk with Protein in it per day during liquid phase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted May 19, 2013 After I get 8 ounces down of liquids, I am going to break out a Protein shake. I am just afraid if I don't get some liquid down, I will be too full to try and this is a first in three days. I got 6 ounces down in 30 minutes and I don't feel like I am going to burst. DID I TELL YOU ALL THAT I AM DRINKING!?!?!?!?!?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Globetrotter 1,340 Posted May 19, 2013 Is that sugar free gatorade you are drinking? Because even sugar free can contain sugar alcohols or xylitol which are harsh on your new tum. Isopure is a trustworthy source. 1 SheWins1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted May 19, 2013 Regular old Gatorade that is watered down 50/50. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newat52 1,613 Posted May 19, 2013 You need to give us a bit more information. So are you able to drink yet? Good job! Keep it up. Anything that will stay down is great! Even munching on ice chips. The G2 is great and so is poweraid zero!! Keep walking and sounding the "trumpets!" :) :) :) 1 LipstickLady reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted May 19, 2013 Oh, there will be no butt trumpets here unless I am sitting on the pot. How in the world could I be (TMI) making this weird sludge if I have nothing in my system? It's disgusting and I am so afraid that I am going to shart. Butt trumpets are for potties only for now. 2 Dawn0429 and T'snewstart reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
