Post op GSV pro-biotic consumption?



Recommended Posts

So I have a fairly severe allergy to candida and also have autoimmune and need to take a daily probiotic to stay healthy. Is this something we can take post-op? If so, how do you take yours? Capsule, break the capsule, liquid form (if that exists)?

My nutritionist has had me on a pro-biotic since my pre-op diet. I was allowed to take pills at 7 days post-op, so I did have a brief period beginning the day before my surgery until 7 days post op where I didn't take it. I would suggest discussing the situation with your surgeon to find out what the best solution for you specifically would be,

I did a chewable probiotic for the first four weeks. After I was able to eat yogurt I discontinued the extra probiotic, but the chewable form was very easy to take and never gave me any problems.

      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! 😞
