Coconut water?

[Elode 8,093]

Hi everyone. I just got out of the hospital last night and I was wondering if anyone used coconut Water on the liquids after surgery? I will probably call my surgeon later and ask for sure but it is clear and I read it hydrates better than water. My sleeve seems to do ok with it.

Or almond milk or silk

I will ask about that too. It has to be clear for the next couple days so I can't have any milky products. Luckily coconut Water is completely clear. It's Taste so much better to me than plain water.

Ok I just got off the phone with my surgeon and he said coconut Water is an excellent way to stay hydrated so as long as my sleeve agrees with it its fine. It does have natural sugar in it too but he said that doesn't so much matter right now he just wants me to stay hydrated. So I got my answers! And he said to give the almond milk a another week or so and then see how my sleeve reacts to it.

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!

@@Comeflywithme You're welcome. They have different flavors of coconut Water some with pineapple or lime mixed and some with pulp I Wouldn't get anything with pulp first thing. I'm not sure about the other flavors I just keep it simple with the plain.
