Is gatorade ok right after surgery?



Recommended Posts

Just sleeve'd 2 days ago. I thought I had read somewhere that Gatorade was fine and included as a "Clear liquid", but, now I can't seem to find it. I can call my doctor tomorrow morning, but, just thought I'd see if any of you knew for sure since I have a purple G2 on hand and it's sounding pretty good. Thanks.

My nutrition plan allows for G2 during the clears phase post-op, but that doesn't mean your surgeon/nutritionist would approve.

I drank it but then realized it had more sugar than I thought. I switched to Powerade zero and propel. Much better in my opinion.

G2 or regular? I don't drink the regular, but, I thought G2 was supposed to be minimal sugar to none?

I def didn't drink regular but G2 had more sugar than other drinks (no wonder why it was so good lol)...I don't have one in front of me but yes I stopped drinking it for that reason.

I drank regular Gatorade, but I diluted it a little to cut how sweet it tasted. (My doctor's post op plan was Clear Liquids for nine days after surgery, and not to use sugar free ones until we got to where we could eat regular food again.)

I could not tolerate Water in the weeks right after surgery so at recommendation of nutritionist, diluted regular Gatorade and diet snapple with water. It saved me from dehydration.

Artificial sweeteners really upset my sleeve between 1 and 4 months postop. So I was drinking regular Vitamin Water, regular Lifewater, regular Powerade and 100% no sugar added juice. Since everything also tasted too sweet to me, I cut all of these 1/2 and 1/2 with water. Even after my sleeve could tolerate the artificial sweeteners, I developed a strong distaste for the artificial flavor. So I really don't drink "diet" or "zero" anything. Plain water, Flavored Decaf iced tea and dilute fruit juices are my goto drinks.< /p>

I was allowed g2, but it had to be diluted.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
