Energy Drinks..or 5 Hour Energy



Recommended Posts

@humming bird-those sound like a good idea, I'll have to try that!

I drink a lot of sugar free red bull, it's an expensive habit this may be a cheaper solution!

Check your Iron levels and Protein intake. I work out at 8:30 pm 3-4 nights at gym or go for long walks same time or early morning. You might want to try GNC recovery Protein shakes,too. I always feel better once I get in routine of working out. Hang in there!

Try Crystal Light Energy they are individual pack' date=' three different flavors and only 5 calories :P .[/quote']

I drink 3 of those a day. I used to be addicted to mountain dew, but since I can't have soda I drink the Crystal Light energy.

Just be careful there is no caffeine in your diet, it will make your stomach super acidic with the lap band...my dieticians first remark she made was "no carbonation and no caffeine" and I've stuck by it. I got on a regular sleep schedule and the Multivitamins really help.

My DH bought a 30 Tube pack from costco I believe called ZipFizz. Zero sugar' date=' high electrolytes. B12 energy drink you put into you Water and supposedly lasts between 4-6 hrs. I feel like other's here re: the jitters and was afraid to try it. I've used them from time to time, actually this past Saturday, and although I don't find they make you jittery, can't say it gives me the energy they say it does. If so, it's gradual at best.

I have taken zipfizz before it makes me burp a lot and my stomach hurt.

I have used 5 hr energy and also mio energy....both work pretty well but contain caffiene equal to 2 cups of coffee so I don't think they should b used every day.....take B12 and an Iron supplement along with the multi we all take....even when I don't feel like working out I make myself and I always feel great after....hang in there and just do it!

I prefer 5 hour energy. It does contain caffeine, but it never makes me feel jittery and has never made me crash.

I love Advocares Spark...non-carbonated and delish! Plus it comes in all sorts of flavor varieties so never gets boring. It gives me a good focused energy not the jitters like coffee does, very low calorie and chalk full of Vitamins and such. The mandarin orange one tastes just like Tang...I used to love that stuff. Directions say mix with 8oz Water but I do a min of 16 max of 24ounce. Currently stuck on Mango strawberry heheheh...here is the site where I buy it

I just read an article yesterday that said a banana was a more effective energy boost that energy drinks.< /p>

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
