lollyfidy1965 402 Posted September 3, 2012 I know everybody's surgeon has their own approach to things, post-op, but my surgeon highly recommends avoiding caffeine after having WLS. No Red Bull for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoolBreeze 154 Posted September 3, 2012 And here I thought Red Bull (sugar free) was caffeine free too. I love (loved) Red Bull Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sassypants 674 Posted September 3, 2012 I don’t like red bull anyway it was always too sweet for me, but if you have sweet taste buds now you might find that stuff disgusting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nate 292 Posted September 3, 2012 I used to get real tired as I'm sure a lot of us did prior to the sleeve. Being the diabolical genius that I am, I would drink a large 24oz energy drink with one of the 5 hour energy shots poured in it every morning. I did that every day for almost a year. Until it caused my kidneys to fail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zino 39 Posted September 4, 2012 I would suggest that you let the surgery do its work and fight through your body being tired. Your body is adjusting to lower calorie intake, it took a long time for your body to get to that point so give it a little time to adjust to your new weight and calorie intake. I am at 4 months now and starting to get more energy naturally. 1 ReeTee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
