Because our stomachs are smaller it stands to reason that we have less enzymes to do our digestive process. About three months after surgery I was having pains when digesting and was having difficulty when going to the bathroom. My husband got me a bottle of digestive enzymes and it took no time to feel the difference. Unlike probiotics which can make my stomach hurt, I can take those before or after a meal and it is like magic. Just wanted to share for some of you who may be having trouble. It worked for me and I still use them as needed over a year out. Hope some of you can find this helpful.

Mine are capsules but they might have a liquid somewhere. These are really best when you start eating solid foods again and push it a little. It can be a little hard to know what will sit well in your new stomach and when you have those moments of wrong foods or too much these have helped me so much. Like I said I didn't try these until I was past three months so those of you right out of surgery or presurgery talk to your doctor. I wouldn't want you to try too early and hurt your tummies.

My husband went to GNC and got Natural Brand Super Digestive Enzymes. I started out taking just one and that was usually enough but two is the recommended dosage. I have done that when I was having a lot of problems. I'm sure there are other brands that are just as good. I don't see any pineapple enzymes on the ingredients. Let me know if they work for any of you that try them.

I was sleeved March 19 by Dr. Lee Schmitt at St. Vincents. It was such a great experience. I have lost 50 pounds so far. Slow and steady. It has given me control yet I am still able to enjoy food and life more with each passing month.

Congrats!!! I just passed my 3 month mark too and getting back to the smaller sizes in my closet is the best thing ever!! People keep saying they love my new clothes and I laugh because theyve been in my closet for years. I am 42 pounds down so about the same. Its only going to get better from here. So happy for all of us!!

Thank you guys so much. I am just having a rough week I guess. I think I will check with my dr and see if I could be dehydrated. I feel like I still have to choose between being hydrated or food. Thank you for all your kindness and encouragement. It is a huge help.

I know exactly how you feel. I am 14 days out and trying to deal with the change of eating. I have realized I was a recreational eater. A great deal of my life involved eating for fun, relaxation, social bonding...and now I am done in four bites and it feels awkward and Im not sure how to navigate this new way of life. I know it will get better. People further out seem to have adapted and I know we will too.

My surgery date is March 19 too!! I have spent this last week before my week long liquid diet systematically eating all those things that I know I will miss. We have so far done big time Italian, Mexican, Chinese, and all the desserts that I know will be replaced with healthier choices. I am trying really hard to not use the words NEVER AGAIN because it will freak me out. I wont lie, it is very anxiety provoking to know that I cant use food as my emotional medication after this. And I do love food. It is a pleasure in life. But I am looking forward to learning a new way to be passionate about food without sacrificing my body and health for it.

Thank you guys for the encouragement. I have told them I will still eat with them just less but I dont think they believe it. My husband already eats healthy and small portions so we will be simpatico. I am just going to be positive and be selfish for a little while to take care of me.
