Is it safe to take post op?

I have to family members who have had gastric bypass several years ago and they said for the first month, their doc required they take it. Anyone with the sleeve try it?

Oh and another question if I may, as I said their wls surgery was several years ago and they are able to eat pretty much everything. I know the question on the sleeved stomach being stretched has been thrown around, but I wonder if the way they can now eat will be similar to me in the future?

I have Protenix. My surgeon requires we buy it Atleast the first 3 months of surgery. He sells it right in the office. It's horrible tasting but doable. I take 2 TS 4 times a day and it gives 68grams of Protein.< /p>

I took protonix, it is safe. My body got adjusted to it so I was just changed to prevacid. I eat almost whatever I want just a very small amount. I dont eat sweets, carbonation, very seldom any type bread, occasionally one bite of rice and no regular Pasta. I do eat dreamfield Pasta and that is still only a bite or two.

Is this the stuff you are talking about? Please look at the first ingredient. It is collagen, this stuff is complete garbage. Your body cannot use it. What is more upsetting is tat doctore are ignorantly recommending this to their patients. The human body is incapable of utilizing collagen Proteins.

Don't waste your money. On the PDCAAS collagen comes in at a .08, meaning for evert 1g of collagen Protein you consume, your body will use only 0.08g. Collagen is so bad that it can't even be measured on the P.E.R. Protein scale.

Even if you drank the whole 30oz bottle (540g protein) your body would only actually absorb 43.2g. So you'd need 2 bottles a day to fill your bodies need for protein.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
