Electrolytes



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried to make electrolyte Water instead of drinking G2 or Power Aid Zero? My surgeon it's advising me to stop the G2 because of the calories and I'm still no fan of artificial sweeteners. Don't care for the taste and they are not very good for you either.

I don't mind Water but I need the electrolytes to stay and feel hydrated.

I've looked online at some homemade electrolyte drink recipes. I'm thinking about doing them or making a type of infused water with a little added punch.

Bad idea? Good idea?

Why not just drink Smart Water? It is Water with electrolytes in it already. You can also get this at Whole Foods under there brand. I drink it all the time. It's a good way to avoid the calories and carbs. Good luck to you! :)

I have tried that and it is an option. I think it was rather expensive though. I'm already buying fruits for my kids and for the infused Water I have been drinking. Could do a price comparison and see which would be better. Thanks for the recommend.

I think you should give your recipes a try then! Let me know how they turn out! Sounds like a good idea! :)

      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.
