Has anyone used braggs apple cider vinegar after gastric sleeve surgery to aid in digestive problems or help with weight loss? If so, do you take the vinegar before or after meals?

I've had Braggs cider vinegar.

I tried the "shot each day" thing for a bottle.

It was pre-op and didn't counteract the bs eating I was doing.

I haven't resumed it post op.

I work with a guy who preaches about cider vinegar like it's the Gospel.

Me......I just rely on it for my homemade bbq sauce, lol.

I used a cap full in my Water to help with acid reflux and wieght loss pre-op, I've had it a few times post-op to see if it helped with acid reflux and it doesn't.

I have used Braggs four years, mixed with honey. Post sleeve 3 years, no problem. I have the Braggs book and believe in it!

It's snake oil. Or rather, in the same bulls*** category as essential oils.

To paraphrase the 78 page research study, apple cider vinegar lacks any scientific research to back up any of the claims people have made regarding its benefits.

"Hmm, my stomach is producing too much acid. I should drink vinegar, an acid, to make it less acidic."

Yes, people actually believe that. *iRoll*
