Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 In regular Gatorade, eight ounces have 14 grams of SUGAR! It's actually fairly rare that we run into problems with losing electrolytes, which is about the only advantage Gatorade has over regular water or Crystal Light. Another choice is the Propel. Look for something that is very low in sugar, that you'll drink! I'm going to strongly encourage everyone, whether pre-op or post-op, to get in the habit of RTFL (Read The Freaking Label). This means the BACK side, with the nutritional info, not just the side where it says " Now Fatfree! " or something like that. Usually they put labels like that on something that never HAD fat! Either that, or they took out fat (which we malabsorb to a certain extent) and added sugar. Ever notice how many fatfree salad dressings taste like you poured maple syrup on your salad? ALWAY check the carbs and sugars, and look out for sugar alcohols, which can be a very effective laxative for many of us, but in a painful fashion.
