What is the deal with carbonation ? I can't even have 8 oz of red bull? I drink no diet coke- no coke products nothing

Caffeine, which is in both Red Bull and Coke can dehydrate you, so in terms of fuid intake, it is working against you. There is also a theory that exists that the carbonation can stretch your pouch, eliminating that full feeling. I am not going to toy with it. Try Water, Crystal light, iced Decaf her bal tea, keep trying until you find something else you like!

Remember that scene from the Aliens movies when the creature would hatch out of the host? That's sorta what happens when you're sleeved and drink something with carbonation. :wacko:

Carbonation will not stretch your sleeve, but it can/might leave you full and uncomfortable. It will take up room in your sleeve that is better utilized for Protein and fluids that will not dehydrate you like caffeine will.

What is your logic to not drinking coke/coke like products that doesn't apply to red bull? :)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
