Well, two weeks ago, I had surgery. I told Drip Drop! that I may not be able to try it because I wouldn't be working out. They suggested I use it during my recovery from surgery. I had a hysterectomy, and I knew it would take some time to recover. I was given 2 flavors (lemon and berry.) You can purchase this at their STORE.
Drip Drop! sells itself as "Great-tasting, medical grade hydration powder." Dehydration is something I don't ever want to deal with and with summer being here, I am VERY careful with myself and my son. I was definitely curious about the fact that it claimed to be "medical grade." The box said it had 2-3 times more electrolytes than sports drinks... That is a lot! It also says it has less sugar than gatorade. That is really important for me on my fitness journey.
I didn't realize how thirsty I would feel after surgery and how hard it would be to drink fluids right away. The day after surgery, I decided to try the lemon flavored Drip Drop! It comes in a powder that I mixed with water. I did have to shake my water bottle up to get it mixed well. It tasted really great and I did feel a whole lot better. Later that day I tried the berry. I liked the lemon a bit better than the berry personally. I was surprised at how great it tasted!

I didn't know you had surgery. Glad you are recovering.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes I am doing well. Three weeks til I am clear to work out... I can't wait!!!
DeleteI would love to try this out. The one electrolyte drink I have used is very salty tasting and I don't care for that. Happy and speedy recovery to you!
ReplyDeleteElle, you should try it. It wasn't salty tasting at all to me. Thank you for the well wishes!
DeleteI drink a lot of water. I tried this, in the berry flavor and it didn't sit well with me :( I was bummed out b/c I really wanted to like it. I think I'll have to track down the lemon flavor and give it a whirl!
ReplyDeleteYes I liked the lemon. Bryce somewhat liked the taste but drank it anyways because it's so hot. I think it really helped him.
