Guest guest Posted June 10, 2001 Report Share Posted June 10, 2001 Hello All, I have some questions about the new bottled water that are out now. Reebok has new bottled water come in flavors like citrus, berry and natural (whatever that is) with 1 gram of sugar and Vitamin B6, B12, chromium and I cant remember the other vitamins and mineral in it. Glaceau also has this new Fruit water in honey dew, raspberry lime and watermellon with no sugars. Are these drinks good for hydration after surgery? Thanks for the input.

Just about any liquid that is low in acid (citrus juices are a no-no at first) and is not overloaded with sugar. I wouldn't worry about the 1 gram. The important thing is that you drink, and drink, and . .. . Steve -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isnt the throwing up, It is the fact that you cant get a lot of fluid into a tiny tummy. I have finally been able to drink a 16 oz glass. It does take me 1/2 hour to get it down. I am 5 weeks out now. Machelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2001 Report Share Posted June 10, 2001 Joann- I DID throw up a lot.. But the reason that many get dehydrated is that with the tiny tummy, its hard to get VOLUME in.. we need 1.5-2 liters of water a DAY.. and can only take tiny swallows every so often. If you aren't diligent, you dry up.. and that makes it hard on your kidneys, your liver, your heart.. so anything that makes sipping more attractive.. we pay attention to it! Hope that helped- Hugs, Liane > If you don't throw-up alot why do you dehydrate so bad after the > surgery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
