Guest guest Posted February 18, 2000 Report Share Posted February 18, 2000 I have eaten Dannon Light non-fat flavored yogurt from the first day home from the hospital. It is sweetened with real sweeteners. I havn't had any problem with it. In fact, it's yummy. I also get Jello pudding mixes in the grocery - the artifically sweetened non-fat kind, mix it up with skim milk. It's so good I can't believe it. It also gives you a satisfied feeling..I've had problems with hunger. Re: Hunger? > >Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2000 14:23:14 EST > > > >I tried some eggs the other day.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2000 Report Share Posted February 18, 2000 I haven't had any problem with eggs so far. In fact, I've had a pretty smooth ride--nothing I've eaten so far has disagreed with me, unless I just ate too much of it. I even had a couple of pieces of sushi yesterday and everything was okay.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2000 Report Share Posted February 18, 2000 Page 33 of the manual says specifically: " Gatorade is also a reasonable choice because it is a light drink and does contain some sodium and potassium. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2000 Report Share Posted February 18, 2000 Gatorade is not a no no As a matter of fact it is listed as a recommendation b/c of the potassium content. It is there...I promise! LOL Plus, Dr R said himself to stop the water and drink gatorade.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2000 Report Share Posted February 18, 2000 I can't find my manual right now (my sis prolly has it) but I have taken notes from the manual and in the diet recommendations where it shows what you can eat/drink and what to avoid, I have notes specifically that states: sugar softdrinks, sugared drink mixes/lemonade, Kool-Aid, Gatorade, sweet tea, Snapple and similar drinks are not recommended. That was why I was confused. :-) I just wanted to make sure that it was okay. fg At 08:20 AM 02/18/2000 -0500, you wrote: > > >Page 33 of the manual says specifically: > > " Gatorade is also a reasonable choice because it is a light drink and does >contain some sodium and potassium.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2000 Report Share Posted February 18, 2000 Oh good, on the post op list recommendations it listed Gatorade as not being recommended because of the sugar, but I'd seen most of you drinking it. :-) Momentary confusion. I just didn't know if they made a sugar free version or not or if you could just drink it regular.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2000 Report Share Posted February 18, 2000 Hi There! No you do not need to water it down. As a matter of fact I would not recommend it. I drink ONLY gatorade and I do wonderfully. I have never dumped ONCE from this drink. If I need a change in pace, I will drink crystal lite, but only once in a while.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2000 Report Share Posted February 18, 2000 << gatorade was a no-no post-op because of the sugar --- do they have a sugar free type? >> We can dilute it with water and it's fine. The thing that saves Gatorade from giving us sugar problems is that it also has potassium and electrolytes in it. The body needs that combination. Dr. R can tell you all about the guy who invented it; the inventor scraped sweat off of athletes to see what their bodies lost as he concocted the mixture for Gatorade. It's a balanced fluid replacement for our bodies that helps us stay hydrated without the usual sugar response of dumping syndrome. Dee in MI.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2000 Report Share Posted February 18, 2000 << how many of you are eating regular yogurt and gatorade and pudding and such?? I just wondered if the amount of sugar in yogurt would make you dump? Responses??? PAige >> PAige! How ya doin' there, woman? I'm still using nonfat Dannon Light yogurt and it's just fine for me. I usually manage about one third cup at a time...sometimes a few spoons less. A container can last me three to four meals. Gatorade and I are good buddies...but I sip it throughout the day, I don't " chug " it. If I feel a little woozy after drinking it, I dilute it in water. Puddings don't sit well with me, but I've heard others say they really like the nonsugar Jello puddings. Most of the real fruit juices are fine; that's 100% juice, no sugar added. Be sure and try apricot nector and pineaple juice (nonsweetened) because they're good sources of (darn! another brain fart...I don't remember what I was going to say...) Dee in MI.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2000 Report Share Posted February 19, 2000 Hey you!, I am just concerned due to so many sugar free things having nutrasweet and I cannot eat or drink it. I add saccarine to my tea now I am off the sugar in my tea and I am fine I used to drink all diet drinks til they switched everything to nutrasweet and I ended up going back to regular pop. I sure wish I could find pop with saccarine in it! Some of the gals are talking about 29 gram of sugar and being able to tolerate it so I guess I will have to see. I think 9/10's of my eating is I like textures. I like pudding s and creamy textures and crunchy textures( I have found Wasa bread fulfills that;) I just know it is less the taste and more the texture in my mouth that I like. Is that totally nutty or what !
