Papaya Enzyme = Drano



Recommended Posts

Well...well...well. I read on the board about how papaya enzyme was great for digestion...and if Dr. Oz likes it...it must be good? Right?

Well...if you take that stuff...you don't need to take much...and if your system is like mine...if you don't own a hat...you better buy one and hold on to it.

Let's just say that it improves your regularity issues. (Wow)

From the things I've read...papaya enzyme helps purge dead tissue and material naturally. You can buy that stuff for around $3 at the pharmacy or grocery store....and yes...it works. (Well enough that I had to come write something on the forum about it.)

Ask your doctor....the tablets are sweet...chewable (they dissolve into almost nothing) and uh...yeah...they work.

Has anyone else tried them?

I saw those posts and bought some, too! I saw somewhere on here that they could help with stuck episodes. Maybe not worth it, huh?

I don't know. I mean...if you need it...you need it. For anyone that's having issues with regularity (considering we eat almost nothing and in such small amounts that it alters that part of digestion. The papaya will definitely "straighten that out" safely.

Initially they do that for me...which is pretty nice. They do seem to help that part of things. The other side of it is the "drano-effect" though. (Maybe I'm just 'full of it'. Ha!)

I have used them and they don't work like draino for me. They work for me if I'm just feeling "kinda stuck" to help that feeling go away. If I'm stuck bad they don't help. Thank goodness It only took me a few episodes to learn my lesson. To stay regular I eat a Fiber gummie every day.

Where in the world do you buy these things? I asked my pharmacist at my grocery store and he had never heard of them.

I bought mine at the health food store. Did not work like drano but they really made me (my stomach) feel better. I was feeling like everything I ate was getting stuck. I got a bottle of 120 for like 8 bucks.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
