I used to turn to soda before my surgery to get over this hump no I do not know what to do to get a little caffeine boost don't really care for tea or coffee any ideas?

Thank you

If you go long enough without the caffeine, you probably wouldn't "need" it anymore, but that's soooo hard!

Maybe a 5 Hour Energy shot or something would help? Good luck!

I would bet your carb intake is much lower now so your body is not storing that energy. Your body should adjust but you might want to look at your carb count each day and maybe try having a protien shake with a few extra carbs. Although I really dont think this is the best answer, those energy drinks are loaded with sugars worse than the carbs you get from a Protein Shake. My suggestion should be taken up with your Dr or nutricionist first because I am not a proffesional. Good luck and let us know what they say!

I like Rockstar Zero!! I wouldn't drink the whole thing though, it will keep you awake when you want to sleep too!!!

Learn to drink coffee. Iced coffee with splenda is good. Coffee can be an acquired taste. There are many low calorie coffee drinks available now too. Just watch the calories on them. Best wishes!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
