Energy Drinks?



Recommended Posts

I'm just a week out and haven't started back drinking either of these...but b4 surgery I had been using MIO energy Water enhancers. I used coupons and I get them for like 1 dollar and some change (plus they make a store name brand now). I think it works for me. I don't drink coffee though....so I could just be easily hyped. Idk! The other is new vitality ruby reds. Now...I only used it for about 5 days b4 I cut out all herbals, medications, and anything and everything 2 weeks b4 surgery. I felt a hype a bit. A little pep in my step but Idk if I was just so excited for surgery and would do anything to maintain my pre surgery mandatory weight. After I see my doctor post op on Tuesday...I will start back using both and let you really know how it works. But I really think it will/could add a little natural pep without nervousness, sugar, calories, and that drop from mid sky feeling. Check with your doc 1st. Best wishes and congratulations on everything thus far.

Thank youuuu :)) I've never heard of those things before! I just love my energy drinks and I've had a hard time keeping down coffee (cause of the diary) but I'm a month out and I've already lost 17 kilos so I'm really happy :)) goodluck with your weightloss journey!

I have never seen sugar free energy drinks, but then again, I live in Canada and we don't have half the stuff there is in the USA. The only thing to be careful of is if they contain caffeine, which is a diuretic, you need to drink that much more Water or other fluids (for every cup of coffee you drink, you are suppose to drink a cup of water to make up for the Fluid loss).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
