Question:
I got some Propel flavored yesterday

I was wondering if you could drink this after yo have had wls it is very good it comes in a 23.7oz bottle and has 10g cal 3g carbs 2g sugar per 8oz would that be to much sugar and maybe make you dump    — wildbrat (posted on August 30, 2002)

Hi - I drink these all the time! I'm 1 year post-op, down 153lbs....They are great...not enough sugar to make you dump, and it's a great alternative to water (which to me gets old fast - I need the variety). It comes in different flavors - orange, berry, black cherry, and lemon. Orange and Berry are my favorites. I keep them stocked in my office at work...try them, good luck!

Hi Beth, To answer your question on the propel sports drink? My Dr actually told me about it. As I was telling her that I get sick of water at times. Anyway I got the permission from my surgoen and I have been drinking it. Not all the time maybe 1 bottle a day if that. Hope this helps.. Jenn

Propel is great! At first I thought it was too sweet, but I just keep an old bottle and pour half of the new bottle into it and add water to fill. This way it cuts the sweetness, I still get the flavor and it goes twice as far! 7 months out and haven't dumped on it yet, even when I drank it full strength. Good luck!

I asked my nutritionist about it and she said it was fine.

I heard a lot of good things about it so I thought I would give it a try.It seemed a little sweet but other than that I thought I could tolerate it.After the second day it was very apparent that I could not.Just my own experience with it.

I too love Propel and have also tried the other brands of flavored fitness water including Reebok, Aquafina and more. All of them have a bit of sugar and some added extra vitamins and electrolites and all are quite tasty. I do agree that cutting them with water helps. I also try to freeze mine and drink them as they defrost.

My Angel loves the Propel. I tried the lemon and did not like it to much, but my Angel don't have any problems with it. Have a blessed week.

Beth- I tried the Propel after a friend told me about it. My husband and I looked closely at the ingredients and sugar levels and thought it would be okay. It is the ONLY thing I have dumped on. And dumping was NOT fun! It tasted good and would have been a nice change but it just didn't work for me at all.
