Is it ok to take a fat burning supplement after surgery? I’m 5 months out today. Im talking about ones from GNC or Total Nutrition, not anything like hydroxycut. Does anyone else use any? What is safe and effective? Thanks in advance!

If you're eating enough Protein and not a lot of high-fat foods, would a fat burner supplement really do any good?

Oh, I always thought they were for burning the fat on my body, not that I eat. I do stay low fat and high Protein.

I think they block the fat from the things you eat and burn it to prevent you from gaining it. I could be wrong, but that's how I THINK they work.

My advice would be to steer clear of anything like this until you’re out of your honeymoon phase.
Right now your body just got the best reboot known to us at this time so my thoughts are why risk screwing it back up again with fat burners?
Not saying that it would mess you up, but who knows exactly what the risk could be?

      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! 😞
