I haven't drunk these in years. Aren't they full of caffeine? I weaned myself off of caffeine pre-op.

This is something I would definitely recommend you discuss with your NUT.

Full of acid! Stay away.

Nasty stuff. Nothing but chemicals and high caffeine and sugar. They could hurt you due to the high acid content (your stomach will be much more sensitive and you do not want ulcers in a sleeve!) You really shouldn't try to start drinking them again if you can help it.

coffee or tea would be waaaaaay better if you need a caffeine fix.

If I NEED an energy drink I do monster rehab, or a rockstar lemonade. Neither of those drinks have carbonation or sugar and are very low calorie. Be careful though because they will dehydrate you and you'll be on the toilet more than a few times. Lol. Just know that however many ounces of caffeine you drink of you'll need to drink double the amount of ounces in hydrating fluids. For example: if you drink 12oz of an energy drink you'll have to drink 24 extra ounces ABOVE your liquid goal for the day. At least that's what my nutritionist has said, and what I've read here from other posters. Also I'm 7 weeks out. I've done it once, and never did it again bc of the bathroom and dehydration...
