Raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar?

So has anyone tried this post op?

I haven't, (at least not straight) but you are talking about something pretty sweet (sugary) and apples are pretty fiberous. May be difficult for the immediate post-op patient. There is a reason they suggest *clear* liquids. The stomach is the mechanical part of digestion, so ...

Should be no problem for you, then. Try it and report back.

Are you talking about drinking it or cooking with it?

Well yeah, drinking it would seem a bit strange (vinegar?), cooking with it would make more sense. But on this board we seem to have to get clarification for a lot things

I am actually taking something stronger but along the same lines of apple cider vinegar because all my blood tests came back that I am not absorbing the Protein I eat. So I am on an herbal hydrochloric acid which helps my body break down the protein better for absorption. It has made all the difference!!! But I did start with apple cider vinegar- took a tablespoon with each meal. Now I take a capsule with each meal. I am 7 months out and started this routine at 6 months without any trouble.

I periodically use it. I usually put 1-2 table spoons in some warm Water with a little bit of honey, sort of like a tea. It helps with indigestion, acid reflux, and curbs my appetite. I'm a fan! Hate the smell though.

Drinking it straight is one of the oldest weight loss methods in the books. I also use it in cabbage salads and dressings, too.

So I have tried two different capsules. You can get them I think online, I bought mine through my acupuncturist. Xymogen is the brand and it's called GastrAcid. And another good one is by Standard Process called Zypan. But I would definitely get professional advice before taking on your own. Good Luck!!!
