Caffeine - Diet Nestea with Lemon

I thought I would share this post with a different title in case you missed what happened to me in another post. I am so tired of water. I do not like flavored water and crystal light just makes me nauseous. (sp?) I drink milk, apple juice and water. Thats it. BOOOOO So I saw this diet nestea with lemon and i read the back and no sugar, no fat and no carbs. It tasted soooooooooo good. I drank the hole can. I also took a bottle of Isopure to work out with me..which I had never tried before either. Then I went to work out with my trainer. I came home and it was like I was speeding. I didnt sleep the entire night..not one wink. My heart was racing, and the veins in my legs were pulsating...it was horrible. I worked the entire next day and wasnt tired at all. I couldnt believe it. I called my doc and dietician and they agreed that I had poisoned my body with too much caffeine. OMG i forgot about caffeine. I am not allowed caffeine for 6 months. She told me I had drank 30 milligrams and my body absorbed it all because I went to work out right afterwards. What a day..my heart had stopped racing around 5 oclock in the evening. I finally fell asleep about midnight and slept till now..about 6 am. I feel much better, but do not wanna go thru that again.

Deb I'm glad you're feeling much better. Caffeine is not a wise choice so early in the operation. My doctor doesn't want us to have caffeine ever. I almost went thru the same thing at the seminar, they were giving samples of this "cappuccino protein drink" I had no idea it had caffeine, and started sipping, then I asked and they said it had the amount of 3 cups of coffee in it. I was shocked they would be selling it at a WLS convention, seeing how caffeine irritates the pouch, but I guess some people are allowed to have caffeine. I figure if coffee isn't good for the tummy (gives you ulcers and stuff) before the surgery much less after.
