I've been regularly drinking my own kefir since one week after surgery. We're allowed to have yogurt (which does sometimes have live cultures in it, depending on the brand), so I don't see why you couldn't have other probiotics.

I'm not sure how far out I was post sleeve but discussed drinking Kombucha with my nutritionist since it was something I enjoyed regularly pre op. I have made my own and purchased store bought, she was fine with it as long as it was low sugar so I read the labels and am enjoying it again.

I don't know about drinking probiotics, but I do take a daily probiotic. Talking with my nutritionist, she said that since I really don't like or consume much yogurt, that taking a probiotic would not be a bad idea. Otherwise, like my girlfriend does, if I ate a decent amount of yogurt, I probably wouldn't need it.

I've been having an actimel probiotic drink most days since surgery and been fine :)
