Morninga? Possible WLS supplement?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I saw this article on the NPR website: powders and other various food stuffs made with it or out of it.

Has anyone here that has had WLS used this in addition to their normal Vitamin regiment? I have yet to have surgery, but this sounds like it could have the potential to help WLS patients who have trouble getting their needed nutrition in.

Thanks in advance! (Disclaimer: this is my first post ever! Woo! Apologies if it's all goofed up.)

Hello and welcome.

I take Moringa and I have noticed a difference. But it is a different kind of difference ... I know, sounds funny.

From what I understand, moringa helps your body to absorb nutrients more efficiently. So, it's not a substance which super-charges your body and makes you more beautiful to 83% of all accountants in Illinois ... But ... I just feel like my body works more efficiently.

I use the powder and add it to shakes. It tastes like a$$ if you add too much. Makes you feel like you are a koala bear without the high ... a leaf chewer because that is what it is ... ground leaves from Moringa trees.

I blend this with a teaspoon of fish oil, fresh fruit, yogurt and Protein powder. I call Breakfast.

Haha! Awesome thanks for the input! I bet the powder is the best way to get the most out of it as opposed to a power bar or similar.

To me, anything that makes the absorption of nutrients after WLS work better is something worth checking out!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
