Caffeinated drinks dehydrate your body. They act like diuretic and may stimulate your appetite.

Unnecessary sleep study?
My insurance wouldn't pay for sleep lab test. So I had a home sleep study and paid $100 copay. I was reluctant to do sleep study thinking it's unnecessary. Guess what...I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea.

Laying in hospital now
I did not have any pain at all after being sleeved. Just discomfort. Walking helped a lot with that. In one week I was ok.

Just diet and exercise. WOW! Never considered that.
I like the metaphoric saying "Never wrestle with a pig. You just get dirty and the pig enjoys it". IMHO ppl who want education would research the topic. Foolish ppl who make such blank statements abt dieting and exercising are usually "know it all" and do it for attention. Never argue with a fool. Onlookers might not be able to see the difference.
