gatorade

[Guest guest]

I love the Citrus Cooler flavor Gatorade, especially when it

is ice cold, so I bought a fairly cheap snow cone/ice shaver

at Bed, Bath, and Beyond for $12, put the Citrus Cooler into

the freezing cups, froze them and then shaved the Gatorade

Ice and it was delicious!!!

To Rhonda re: Gatorade

Hi Rhonda,

I haven't tried the Riptide Rush, but will do that. Have

you had the Passion Fruit Gatorade? It is yummy, and by

far, my favorite. It's the pink one. Give it a try and let

me know what you think. I'd like to find the dry mix in the

Passion Fruit, but haven't come across any yet.

Hugs,

1 Month Post-Op and down 32 glorious pounds!

Thanks, I read the label and found it has instant tea in

it. I

thought maybe it didn't actually have tea in it. I will

stick to the

Crystal Light Lemonade and my Gatorade. It is hard to

believe I

actually crave Gatorade now at times. I am really

starting to

acquire a taste for it. Never thought that would happen.

I couldn't

hardly stand it when I first had surgery. I love the

Riptide Rush.

I have almost drank a 64 oz. container of it today. I've

been

cleaning so I have been drinking a lot. Better get ready

to go eat.

This is date night for my husband and me. Every Saturday

night.

Bonded by our experience, strength and hope

All I can say is I drink Gatorade all the time and don't have any problems

with the sugar thus far...but to each their own, right?

i avoid gatorade-type drinks...am kind of grossed out

by the idea of all those empty calories, can't deal

with the sugar, and don't want to train my body to

take it! on rare occasion, i will drink a few swigs if

i have been doing something very strenuous, like

working in the yard in the hot sun.

normally, i drink mostly water, but sometimes will

have crystal light, plus i do two protein shakes a day

(mixed with water) and a little OJ with my citrucel 2x

a day. personally, i find it easier and healthier to

ensure i am getting the liquid and elctrolytes i need

through lots of water, fruits and vegetables and

appropriate supplements, rather than sugar water with

artificial flavorings and coloring, with some salt and

potassium thrown in, which is what i think gatorade

basically is!

i do think it would be better watered down, though.

Subject: Gatorade

My trainer suggested watering down my gatorade before

drinking it.

No cokes, no sodas here. Gatorade, water, milk,

occasionally one of

those little Minute Maid Coolers. Anyway, she warned

against the

sugar content of Gatorade, especially for people who

drink lots of

it. Any opinions?

I also drink Gatorade all the time without any problems. I am

actually still in awe of the fact that I thought Gatorade was awful

before surgery and for a while after surgery I still had problems

with it and had to water it down. Now......I actually crave it. It

taste so good to me now. I mix my citrucel with it and take my meds

with it every morning and evening. I was one of the people that used

to whine about taking the citrucel. I couldn't find any way of

getting it down. I posted about it several times. People kept

giving me suggestions on how to take it and I just kept trying the

suggestions until I found one that worked for me. Now its nothing to

take my citrucel.......don't know how I got off of the little

tangent. I guess it started with talking about Gatorade. Anyway

that is my take on it.

My TWO CENTS

Gatorade, Fruit Juices, Boost, Slim Fast, etc. ALL go through me like liquid

Dynomite.

So - occassionally I drink a " lite " coffee or tea, or a diet soda. Of course

the offset of that : GASoSAURUS!

Manda I am a diabetic so I drink Propel by Gaterade it has only 10

calories for 8ozs while Gateraide has 50 but still has the good stuff

and vitamins like B12 also, my only complaint is it is kind of

expensive, but I'm worth it.

I've never had a problem with gatorade and that my main liquid intake now

days. I haven't found anything else I like as well. I'm thinking I need to

buy some stock in the company as much money as they've gotten from me in the

past 3 months!

I just wanted to clear something up in my original post. I never

said I had a problem with gatorade, or that anyone else did. My

trainer advises everyone to water it down if it is being drunk

because of the grams of sugar and the empty calories. I never even

implied that anyone was having a problem with gatorade, or at least I

didn't mean to.

Manda,

Naw you didn't imply anything bad about gatorade....I wish they'd make a few

new flavors of it for me...LOL...I am the one who really should buy stock in

it. I usually have it with ice and it does get watered down. I drink a lot

of water too.

I have also discovered that if I don't make it a point

to drink something throughout the day I end up with a

bladder infection. The time I really WANT to drink is

right after I eat. I found out real quick that I can

not do that - so I have to remember to drink at other

times.

I think you are right about Gaterade being mostly sugar water with a little salt

and potassium. I prefer water and taking potassium supplements. I do, however,

prefer filtered water as tap water tastes bad to me. Filtered water with

crushed Ice is a must for me. My refreg has a filter so I can get this easily.

Whatever it takes to get the required fluids. I think we need more fluids than

ordinary people. One reason is that the Citrucel pulls more water into the

colon and takes it from the rest of the body. If we don't drink enough it leads

to dehydration.

- Yeah, I know exactly the taste/feeling you're talking about after

drinking Gatorade! I always feel the need to drink water or cranberry juice

to cleanse my mouth out - and I have sort of a " yucky " feeling in my stomach!

I'm glad to know others experience that same as I do. I hate Gatorade!!!

[Guest guest]

try the water made by Gatorade........( Propel )...not as sweet and has

lots of vitamins

[Guest guest]

: I don't drink gatorade. I haven't heard from yu lately. We just

returned from Cary, N.C. Mickey worked there for 3 weeks and may have to go

back for a few days from time to time. His project is to last about 1 year.

Mickey and I went on another cruise and had a blast. We thought about you

while we were there. We were not as lucky as . I broke even in the

casino and maybe made a few dollars but not more than $30.00 Mickey lost

more than I did but we still came out ahead.

How is the work on your house coming along? Kim and I need to come and

check it out. By the way have you heard from is. We were tallking

about her dropping out of site. Hope she is doing well. Are you still

loosing weight? I am stuck at about 130#- - I will accept that if I don't

loose any more but would just like to know if I am thru so I can make plans

for Plastic surgery. Phyllis

[Guest guest]

you skinny little thing you. 136 pounds? I can't stand it! You must look

gorgeous.

I did get that feeling from Gatorade. The only flavor I could drink was the blue

raspberry flavor heavily watered down. Then I found passion fruit, watered it

down. Now I can drink it without watering it down. Lemonade? Lemonade gives me

actual pain enough to make me double over! Don't understand why but my drinking

is limited to water, orange juice (but only sometimes, sometimes it bothers me)

and passion fruit Gatorade.

By the way, I'm in land. Ed needs surgery so I had to load him in the van

and drive home. Sorry I didn't get to see you this trip either. Maybe next

winter! Say hi to for me please.

Does anyone get a yucky feeling after they drink gatorade? Not really reflux,

but a nasty feeling in my throat! Almost like reflux, but there isn't any acid

and tums won't ease it. It is always after drinking gatorade.

just curious!

Hi

My sister talk to you about drinking Gatorade because her dentist is worried

about the sugar content in Gatorade which destroys the enamel on our teeth. She

told me that you don't drink Gatorade anymore. Its my understanding that we are

suppose to drink it for life. If that has changed I would like to know what we

can eat and drink instead of Gatorade. And if so, why has there not been some

kind of posting to let all of us know that this has change because Gatorade is

not cheap and dentists appt, are not cheap . Looking forward to your reply

I don't know anyone that drinks Gatorade for life. We all get tired of it

when my potassium gets low, so I will get some then. I drink lemonade,

Crystal Light, juice, kool-aid, propel, chocolate milk, drinks, sunny

etc. There is a lot of fluids out there to chose from.

I'm with you. Haven't bought Gatorade for months. But I DO get all my K+

and Na++ in every day. Gatorade is not health food. There are much better

choices out there. Just my 2 cents, of course, but I'm very comfortable

with my nutrient intake right now.

I also believe that Gatorade is to keep you hydrated as well. So the 60 oz

or so per day is your hydration. Whereas water will flush our systems of the

nutrients (salt and K+) that we need. It has less sugar than OJ. As long

as you have enough fluids and cover all the nutrient bases That is my

understanding of the Gatorade.
