Nicolanz 1,484 Posted January 21, 2013 Does anyone drink these post op? I used to be a Rockstar a day kinda girl and I am craving one. Just wondering..... I haven't had one in about 4 months! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ballermom 803 Posted January 21, 2013 I m waiting to a surgical date. So good question. But you are still a Rock star! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeBeSpArKLeS 70 Posted January 21, 2013 I am still post-op but when I asked about energy drinks that was a no no due to carbonation. Carbonation causes your sleeve to stretch. Hope you make it past this craving quickly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicolanz 1,484 Posted January 21, 2013 Ohhhh right right! It's not a bad craving ......I can live without it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1happyloser2b 39 Posted January 21, 2013 I met with my nut. today and she said no to caffeine and carbonation. I have read that some people let the drinks go flat. IJS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desertmom 297 Posted January 21, 2013 Depends on what your dr says. I have a sf redbull every now and then when we play 2 hour round robin squash to give me enough energy to get through it.I open it the night before and put it in the fridge to go flat.

O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted January 21, 2013 I'll never recommend them, but I am guilty of occasional use. 1 coexist23 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isntsheclever 38 Posted January 21, 2013 I drink Monster Rehab, the lemonade + tea flavor. It's not carbonated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
new_me2013 41 Posted January 21, 2013 Would the 5 hour energy in the little bottle be a substitute perhaps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delta_girl 931 Posted January 21, 2013 This is just me, but I wouldn't want to. That's a lot of chemicals in one big can. I gave up all carbonation, but still enjoy a cup of regular coffee sometimes, so no way am I perfect in anything. Energy drinks just don't call my name.

ShrinkyDinkMe22 376 Posted January 21, 2013 I was a low carb monster-holic for years. Gave them up and bc if the carbonation I don't think I will have them anytime soon. I'm only a month and a half out so I can't say never. Just not at this time.... But oh how I miss them so... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lovePINK 31 Posted January 21, 2013 I drink the 8 oz sugar free red bulls. They are only lightly carbonated. I love them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluffylibra30 323 Posted January 21, 2013 I wouldn't recommend it either but I do 5 hour energy shots. 1-2. A week maybe. I Take an extra Nexium on those days just incase. I am a year out though. Make me feel great. Only vise I have. A girl needs some caffeine sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted January 22, 2013 I was a low carb monster-holic for years. Gave them up and bc if the carbonation I don't think I will have them anytime soon. I'm only a month and a half out so I can't say never. Just not at this time....But oh how I miss them so... Oh, I used to drink those all the time before surgery. I was one wired dude all the time. That being said, they are pretty full of chemicals so will probably not help weight loss because fat cells like to cling to toxins ( most canned sodas or energy drinks, especially the diet variety, have a cocktail of chemicals in it). Best to stick to Water until further along in order to not mess with the healing process either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
