Has anyone tried this vitamin/supplement plan? It is a pill, a patch and a protein+ drink - each of which you do daily. I am always tired, even after losing over 100lbs and being about 25lbs from goal.

I tried it Pre-op and DO NOT recommend it!!! First off the shakes are horrible! I had to add so much fruit to mine to even get it down. It tasted like watery play-doh. Secondly - yes, I felt great all day long. I had energy and felt good... until about 7pm. I crashed at 7pm every single night. When I say crashed I mean it, I could barely walk up the stairs to my bed I was so tired. When I talked to my rep she told me that there is another supplement that I can take around 3 or 4pm that would help with this. I was already paying a ton for it and now I had to buy something else to keep me going a few extra hours a day. You have got to be kidding me!!!

Then..... When I went off of it I felt horrible for about a week. Headaches, tired, crabby, I was miserable! I talked to my NUT about it and asked her why all of this was happening and she told me that there are MASSIVE doses of caffeine in the shakes and pills and Patches and that is why you get the euphoric feeling during the day and crash at night. She said that the reason I was feeling so miserable when I quit it is because my body was used to getting the caffeine and I cut it off completely. She also stated that I couldn't use it post-op because of the caffeine.

In my opinion.... STAY AWAY!

Hey thanks for the info! Greatly appreciated.
