Sounds to me like you experienced dumping.

Just for your own info, grab that bottle. Check the serving size. 8 oz? How many sugar g in 8 oz? Now you know that THAT many is WAY too many. Lucky you that you dump! If you try to keep your sugar g under 10g, you will be able to avoid a lot of dumping (your number might be 4 or 8), AND you'll get a better wt loss, too.

When I drink Gatorade, I dilute it heavily. Like 3/4 water, 1/4 G'ade. It just takes the "boring" out of water and gives it a little taste. Like the others said, drinking it straight is way too much sugar. Best wishes to you.

I am 14 months post-op and drink Gatorade fine now, but I couldn't do it until about 9 months post-op. Too much sugar. One idea might be to water it down by half. It actually doesn't taste much different, and it will ensure you don't dump. Of course, water's always the best choice if you can stand it.

Michelle is totally correct. Get the bottle and see the number of sugars in a serving! Make a mental note that this was too much for you. I do like a previous poster said, I mix drinks with water so they are not so strong.
