5 Hour Energy?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone post surgery used 5 hour energy? I am a night shift RN who doesn't get much sleep and sometimes I'm just DYING at work. I used to use caffeine to get me through, but now I'm looking for a post band replacement.

Any suggestions?

BTW- please don't tell me to get more sleep. I LOVE sleep. My bed is my best friend. If I could sleep more I would. I only say this because that was my nutritionists response. Really? More sleep? Wow, never thought of that. Lol.

LoL that's funny! My bed is my best friend too! Lmao! I really don't like how I feel when I take 5 hour energy. It depends on the person though..you could just try it and see how you do...cuz at my work I sell them to ppl all day long who swear by them. It makes me feel funny though..like its too much caffeine or something...kinda jittery and odd feeling. I still drink coffee and do fine.

I have just been banded but I use one every day. It is my source of "get up and go"

It IS caffeine! You're just getting more of it in a concentrated dose. Caffeine is a diuretic, which is why it's not recommended - to prevent dehydration, but I couldn't live without my coffee, so it's just a choice between slow-and-steady or all-at-once.

I drink coffee to get my daily caffine, but there are times when my 1-2 cups a day is not enough. I have used 5 Hour energy a few times when I need a pick me up in the afternoon. I only used 1/2 a bottle at a time and it seemed to be just right. I do make sure to drink more than enough Water so I don't get dehydrated :) I have also tried Mio Energy. You just add a squirt to your water and it works great too. Good luck, and just get more sleep already :P

5-hour energy is definitely useful, its a more concentrated version of coffee and takes up less space then coffee =)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
