Hi everyone,

My education class was last week and I learned a couple of interesting tidbits that I thought would share.

Now, of course, everyone's program requirements are slightly different, so please follow your doctors guidelines first! That being said:

1. To help with nausea -- every morning, drink warm Water with lemon juice in it. It clears any mucus buildup and helps clear your stomach for new food.

2. FOR HAIR: take the following to help with hair growth:

50 mg of Co-enzyme Q10 3 times daily. It is a powerful antioxidant that helps aid healing and energy levels. It also helps to promote hair growth.

Biotin 5000 mcg daily - helps promote hair growth.

200 mg of zinc sulfate OR 50 mg of zinc gluconate - this is important for immune functions and to help promote hair growth.

3. For healing and to assist your digestive track in processing food through the intestines - take a probiotic daily for at least the first 2 weeks once you ate cleared for full liquids. You can break it open and put it in your Protein shake.

Hope this is of benefit to the group.

Um, are you going to be crushing all of these tabs? I have a few that I have to crush or open to consume and it is just nasty!!! Good luck with that. And, no, I haven't heard about this type of regimen. Let us know if this actually works!

Hi Scottsgirl!

The Co Q 10 you would need to open up, same with the probiotic. The probiotic doesn't really have a taste haven't tried it on the Co Q 10 yet.

The Biotin and zinc are chewable. I bought the zinc at Vitamin cottage and the biotin from Bariatric Advantage.

My dr has me on chewable probiotics. Aren't you supposed to suck zinc, not chew it?
