Can we drink probiotics?



Recommended Posts

I've never taken them, but I don't see why someone couldn't...

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.

Can we drink live women Probiotics? My nut told me to drink some weeks before surgery but she never said if we can drink them after and if it’s beneficial

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 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! 😞
