Papaya Enzyme - anyone use or heard of it?



Recommended Posts

Hi I was wondering if anyone has used or heard of Papaya Enzyme?

I am 3 weeks post op and I have been nauseous ever since I started on Protein shakes. I have tried several brands of the Protein but all have affected me the same way and I can only force myself to get about 4 to 6 oz in and I am supposed to be getting 8 to 11 oz every 4 hours. So I went to the Vitamin Shop today and talk to them and they recommend when I drink a Protein shake I take a Papaya Enzyme it is used to help break down the protein and it should help with the nausea. So I bought some and I am going to try it tomorrow.

I would ask your surgeon before taking that. I am sure it is fine... Just err on the side of caution. Hope you feel better soon.

I was taking it when I first got sleeved just to help with digestion. I had issues with acid reflux but in about a month everything stopped and quit taking it. But you may want to ask your doctor.

I took it years ago when I first started having trouble with digestion....Before and after meals.....It worked for a while but since I never changed any habits back then I soon moved on to more powerful medicine to control the pain.....ratz......

If I knew then what I know now eh!!!!!!!!!!

      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! 😞
