Hi everyone

I recently had the gastric sleeve surgery. It is going well so far.

I just have a few questions

What stage can i start taking capsules?

Does anyone use appetite suppressors?

Ask your surgeon's team about when they want you to switch to capsules rather than liquids or chewables.

And staying as low carb (veggies) as possible along with lean dense protein is my appetite suppressant. The more carbs I have, the hungrier I get.

I take some pre-workout supplements now that are appetite suppressants. But I take them more for the energy boost (although they do also help with appetite). One is RedCon1 Double Tap which is a stimulant and one is Redcon1 Silencer (non-stim). I wouldn't take them until you are in a serious workout phase and at least 6 months post-op. And, of course, check with your doc. I like Silencer a lot.

I am hoping I don't need them! Of course, I am not allowed to take them anyway (other medical conditions)... but I am hoping surgery, diet control, and exercise are all I need.

I wonder if years down the road when the ghrelin starts to come back (sleeve patients) if we'll need appetite suppressants to reduce the hunger feelings again.
