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).
