iamblessed1225 61 Posted February 14, 2015 I've been reading benefits on Apple cider vinegar and thinking of maybe using it I've heard a teaspoon a day is very good for various things including weight loss; anyone ever tried since surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleevedNFree 89 Posted February 14, 2015 @@iamblessed1225, I've tried it and works wonders in so many ways - reduces blood pressure, helps with weight loss, digestion, etc. The best that I've found is Bragg's Organic Apple Cider Vinegar (with the mother). Google it and you'll see tons of information about the benefits. Not sure of its impact/benefits after weight loss surgery though, if that's a concern. Hope you find this useful! All the best!

SleevedNFree 89 Posted February 14, 2015 No - tried it only before the procedure (I'm not scheduled til March 4th). It's a great question and would be curious to hear from the more experienced sleevers like you. Either way, wish you all the best in geting the insight on it.

WL WARRIOR 692 Posted February 14, 2015 I used apple cider vinegar to suppress my appetite many years ago. I would consume 1/4 cup before meals and it worked wonders. However, I would not drink it (even diluted with water) post op because it is so highly acidic. It would definitely be something you might want to discuss with your bariatrician so that you don't harm your sleeve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only use Braggs. I used it pre WLS and still occasionally use it post-op. I typically add a capful per 8 ounces of Water, but that's an acquired taste. It will keep you regular and help with digestion. I also have used it on salads. I don;t buy bottled dressings so I often use balsamic vinegar or pickle juice and EVOO. Depending on the salad I'll use the Braggs. It's also good for you hair if you have product build up. You make a soak with baking soda & Water. The mother in it has Protein so even though it will scrub the dirt and oils out of your hair it won't leave it feeling stripped and dry.
