Can you drink gatorade post op?



Recommended Posts

ive seen a lot of people saying really good things about these kinds of drinks. I dont know exactly what g2 is so I would suggest sugar free and calorie free but I have heard they can help you feel lots better i plan on drinking some Powerade 0 to see if i can shake this headache.

I am 10 weeks post op and still use it on occasion especially if it is really hot out and I am going to be outside. I drink the G2.

I have the small bottles of G2, 12 ounces, 30 calories, 7g sugar (seems like a lot of sugar for post op)......some days I drink 1/2 of a bottle that's been diluted with an equal amount of water.................but was under the impression that's only while on liquids....once on real food, that will be a thing of the past. Good luck!

Yup - G2 was a favorite after surgery. Still enjoy it if it's all I can find at a convenience store or something. No Protein in it, but a lower calorie option for sleevers.

I love G2 - it was recommended to me for post-op by my surgeon. I especially love the G2 natural when I can find it.

I have always disliked drinks like G2, but after surgery my husband bought me some so I wouldn't get dehydrated, and I sort of craved it. I would dilute it. Now at over 6 months post op it doesn't really appeal to me anymore, but it was a great option when I was on full liquids. My surgeon recommends it for that phase.

One of the things I stopped doing before surgery and have so far been able to keep up and I think I have benefitted greatly from doing so is no soda, at all, sugar no sugar - nada.

Another is avoiding processed drinks. I just don't do them.

May I recommend you try a 2 liter container, chop up 2 lemons, several thin slices of cucumber and rough chop about a half cup of mint. let it set for at least 4- hours in the fridge. It's a refreshing burst of detox.

I drink the low-cal Gatorade every day. It's 75 calories for the 32 oz bottle. I drink it because I can't get my fluids in otherwise! I sometimes drink the zero cal Powerade but I don't prefer it. I find it too sweet.

G2 was recommended by my surgeon as well. I like it because it has electrolytes, when I don't drink it my legs start to cramp up. Plus, Water makes me feel sick and the G2 doesn't.

I too drink G2 when it is needed but I have also started drinking Smart Water because it has the electrolytes in it. Better than dumb water!! :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
