Hey Kids, I am just two weeks post op and already back at work but my energy is not coming back! any hot tip, so I don't fall asleep in meetings?

I didn't drink Red Bulls, and not a coffee drinker, but I did have my share of energy shots before my sleeve. What sucks are those things are addictive, but I do partake about once a week or so in caffeine. Just this past Friday morning I was having a really really hard time getting myself going. I was in a fog, groggy and completely unable to focus, so I stopped at the store on the way in to work and grabbed a Rockstar orange uncarbonated drink. It only has like 30 calories in a can and since it's not carbonated, it's my caffeine of choice, but I only turn to it when the window down in my truck or a cold shower doesn't help. It also has B vitamins that we can usually use. Just be careful, caffeine can also become a crossover addiction like many other things.

I drink the low calorie non carbonated drinks. Monster has a new one out... Pink lemonade mixed with tea. I'm personally not a big tea fan bit this is good! They also have it with regular lemonade!

On occasion I will have 5 hour energy, maybe once a month. I have coffee almost daily. There are also natural energy enhancer pills you can get from a natural foods store like GNC or Vitamin Shoppe. These are usually stimulant free.

My doctor says that anything with caffeine is a no-no because it dehydrates you. Whatever you drink that has it doesn't count towards your Fluid intake. Preop, I'll just have my 64oz of Water AND my quadespresso!

Let's see how tough I am after the surgery.

(I'll crush and snort No-Doz if I have to - don't make me do it! )

My nutritionist told me that an apple in the morning is as energizing as a cup of coffee. I'd like to believe that because its healthier, but I'm not so sure lol
