do papya enzymes really work?



Recommended Posts

Are they worth buying to have on hand for stuck episodes? Do you recomend anything else?

They seem to. Another excercise is to lift your arms over your head or windmill your arms. I hope this is for help with something stuck.

Some folks get relief by bending at the waist. Whatever works for you is the right way.

Well ive been stuck while in the privacy of my own home before and raising my arms helped a little. But im more concerned about getting stuck when im out in public. Doing the "windmill" might get some unwanted attention!

In a situation where I have been stuck real bad and there is slime involved and throwing up is going to happen ......what I call "stuck hard "...... no, the papya enzymes are not a big help. If I just feel discomfort like I must not have chewed up something well enough, chewing about 3-4 papya enzyme tablets helps quite a bit.

They do work...I try to use them sparingly. My preference is to avoid getting stuck

OMG, yes, when it is a real bad stuck episode, nothing is going to help. I go to bathroom and do the arms up in the air thing and do a lot of praying. Agreed, if there is just a little discomford, I swear by those pills. I keep them at home, in my purse and at work. Those also help with an upset stomach, all natural. I do agree that the best answer to that question is to avoid the stuck episode if anyway possible, nothng but trouble and I actually hurt for a couple of days afterwards. You will learn down the road like all of us and enjoy the journey.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
