So I've been having dihareea so I heard Gatorade was good, I couldn't find sugar free Gatorade, is it okay to consume Gatorade with sugar? I heard if you dilute it, it could help? Shall I stay away from it, will it decrease my weight loss?

Should I drink it or no?

Yeah my country doesn't have a lot of choices, but I'm surprised they didn't have sugar free, I didn't look my dad did. I told him to look for sugar free Gatorade maybe he didn't look hard enough? Idk! But shall I stay away from it? Or would 1/2 cup a day not hurt

Try PowerAide Zero if you can find it. Otherwise just go with Gatorade to help for now. I wouldn't drink it on a regular basis but sometimes you need to step outside the rules a little to get healthy.

What you want is Powerade Zero or G2. However, if you are only a couple of days out from surgery, the extra calories from full-sugar Gatorade will only help, not hurt. Just don't make a habit of it! And do dilute it with Water, 50/50. My nutritionist told me I was allowed to have juice, gatorade, Vitamin water, etc. in the first few days post-op as long as I mixed it with water.

I agree with others here. Also you could try to find Pedialyte

      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.
