My daughter in law is a vegetarian and truly the healthiest human being I've ever known..in so many ways. She takes her health very seriously. She SWEARS by coconut Water. I think I'll pick some up. Thanks!

Oh and in case anyone is wondering I got the O.N.E coconut Water at Walmart it's kinda pricey 33.8 oz for 4-5 bucks but as little as we can drink it's really not that bad at all. It have 45 cal for a cup and 10 total carbs with 8 grams of sugar. It's also high in potassium and is fat/Gluten free. I drink it ice cold and I love it!

what department is it in?

My NUT lets me use it. I mix it with Water and sip. She said it's great to help prevent dehydration and better than drinking low cal Gatorade with the sweeteners in it. Just not a lot. 1-2 tbsp per 3/4 cup water.

Isopure makes a clear Protein in coconut that I like a lot. Coconut flavor plus 40 grams ! of Protein in a 20 oz bottle. I find the protein a little heavy, so I mix it 50/50 with a no-calorie fruit Water.

Coconut Water didn't sit well for me during the first month but if you can tolerate it, it's wonderful and so healthy! Natural electrolytes too!!!

I am so glad you guys posted on this. I was feeling very dehydrated the first day home after surgery, I went out and bought a bottle of coconut Water in hopes that it would work, and wow I feel so much better and I sip on it all day. I try and drink regular water too, but its not as easy to drink as the coconut water...

YAY for coconut! :)

I drink it because I dislike bananas and I can't have gatorade or other sports drinks due to the artificial dyes and sugars in them. It's a good source of natural minerals and electrolytes.

I can't remember the last time I drank cow's milk. I only drink Almond Milk or Rice milk. I am particular about the brands I drink as well. I prefer Almond Breeze unsweetened almond milk or Rice Dreams unsweetened. I was discharged on full liquids so I mixed my Protein powders with these.

I was told coconut Water is great especially if your losing fluids or not getting enough. It has potassium which is vital. I was told to make my first Protein Drink mixed with coconut water. I am post op as well.

I really can't do the coconut Water flavor. I tried. Really tried. I thought everyone was crazy when they said that your tastes change after the surgery but I'm a believer now. Some of the shakes I bought I can not stand the taste of them and I loved them before.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
