ok help please...I have no energy at all I have tried to drink more water cause I thought it was dehydration, but thats not it. So I would like to start exercising but by the time I get home I am exhausted. So my question is can anyone suggest something that is not a diet pill that I can drink to give me that little boost of energy after work to get a work out in??? Got the gym membership and really want to use it.

went and got vitamin d and zip fizz thanks all for your help!!

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 .[/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.

went and got Vitamin d and zip fizz thanks all for your help!!

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.
