I almost drank the above i was going to let them sit out and go flat then drink but i see on mnany threads to not do this if looking for energy other things were suggested i thought if i walked ri would of felt a lil more energized but no i dont so ill try mister carb now..

I know everybody's surgeon has their own approach to things, post-op, but my surgeon highly recommends avoiding caffeine after having WLS. No Red Bull for me.

And here I thought Red Bull (sugar free) was caffeine free too.

I love (loved) Red Bull

I drink 5 hour energy perfect size for the sleeve and lots of b12 my surgeon is fine with it I buy the SAMs brand 23.00 for a 24 pack.

I don’t like red bull anyway it was always too sweet for me, but if you have sweet taste buds now you might find that stuff disgusting!

I used to get real tired as I'm sure a lot of us did prior to the sleeve. Being the diabolical genius that I am, I would drink a large 24oz energy drink with one of the 5 hour energy shots poured in it every morning. I did that every day for almost a year. Until it caused my kidneys to fail.

Yeah the side effect they don’t tell you about with energy drinks kidney stones/problems!

I would suggest that you let the surgery do its work and fight through your body being tired. Your body is adjusting to lower calorie intake, it took a long time for your body to get to that point so give it a little time to adjust to your new weight and calorie intake. I am at 4 months now and starting to get more energy naturally.
