GI BUG

Yeech!!!!

Two days of water then gatorade.  I am at 440 this morning but not ready to add that to my ticker because I am dehydrated.

What will I use instead of Gatorade post op?

Sorry to hear that you are under the weather. Are you talking about keeping yourself hydrated when you are sick and loosing fluids? What about Propel would it do the same thing? Gatorade does have a lower calorie version in a lemonade flavor. It really depends on the person whether they can tolerate any sugary things. It really is not a cut and dry thing, it is individual. Take for instance Dave dumps really bad and I hardly dump.

I have not had any bad GI bug PO.

I hope you are felling better by Saturday.

Take care  

Thank you Chris.  I think my fever is gone and I feel well but a bit sensitive and I still have some GI problems.  This has been what I imagine dumping would be like and it definate works for behavior modification better than any nut lecture or psych could accomplish.

When I had the stomach flu at Christmas, G2 was what I used as a post op.  It is low calorie version of gatorade.  It did the trick nicely.  There is lots of different varieties out there so you will have choices.   

Thank you, Nancy.

Randy I just got over a bad flu bug and I have to agree with Nancy regarding the G2, that worked great for me and I'm one to dump pretty bad on sugar.  I hope you feel better!

Big Hugs,
