Sugar Free And Tiredness



Recommended Posts

Do sugar alternatives like splenda or the older varieties make you tired? I have been getting seriously sleepy lately and continue to go through a lot of mio for my Water intake. On a related note, I am starting to wonder what mio really is and the long term effect on the body. Anyone know?

Are you taking your Vitamins and some Vitamin B12? I am tired, but it is my thyroid.

I have been also having quite a bit of caffeine lately from mio energy drinks. I wonder if too much caffeine can actually make you tired and sluggish rather than full of energy?

Maybe your caffeine intake is affecting your sleep quality? When I drink something with caffeine late in the day it takes me longer to fall asleep.

Haven't tried to take too much caffeine or coffee, what I experience is, when I drink coffee, it seems gives an extra energy to continue to stay awake, but there are also time that coffee has no effect for me especially when I am so tired, sleep or rest is the only answer.

Caffeine, like any stimulant, will give you a surge followed by the inevitable down swing. So yes, in that sense, it can leave you sluggish after the affects wear off.

      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.
