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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
