Caffeine Substitute??



Recommended Posts

I work long 12 hour shifts overnight, I drink Diet Mt. Dew for caffeine and sometimes sugar free Red bull to help stay awake. What else can I drink? I don't like coffee so that's not an issue, I do drink crystal light iced tea already...need other suggestions to help stay awake please & thanks!

Some of the crystal lights have energy stuff in them. Not sure if it's caffeine or not but it might help.

Monster makes an energy drink called PROTEAN and it has 15 grams of Protein and it's non carbonated but seems to have a flowery taste. Rockstar has an awesome non carbonated orange energy drink and it is sooo yummy,it tastes like an orange crush. I was a sf red bull drinker before getting banded and have had to switch to non carbonated. Best of luck to you. Btw the rockstar has 80 g of caffeine, it will get ya movin;)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
