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).

      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.

        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!
