Probiotics Pre-Op

[mylastchance21 82]

Anyone taking Probiotics before surgery? And if so what are the benefits? I'm trying to make sure that my body is as strong and as healthy as possible before surgery in the hopes to eliminate any complications after.

Any suggestions on ways to prep to make the recovery go smoothly is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Best advice I can give is to start hitting the gym now....begin a structured weight training program as alternate days of cardio.

You'll have great momentum going into surgery.

Thanks for sharing! That's what I'm currently doing. I have implemented a workout routine and staying consistent. Surgery is 11/3! So nervous but excited

I work for a acupuncturist/nutritionist. My op day is Dec 21. I have started probiotics, Biotin, B12, zinc, Vitamin D, Curcuma and Vital Zymes to help prep me. I am doing my best to make sure i am the best i can be. I also take ACV to prevent colds etc.

I have been taking probiotics for the past two years and it makes all of the difference when it comes to my stomach and bowels. I had an issue with IBS symptoms and my gastroenterologist added a probiotic to my diet to see if I found any relief and I did. I have also been recommended people take a probiotic post-op to help with Constipation and everyone comes back saying they help more than laxatives.< /p>

I have started taking a Gummy probiotic daily (with fiber) and I have to say I love it. So I'm now taking vit D and B12, a Multivitamin, Iron, and fish oil. Thinking of adding Biotin into the mix. But since the probiotics I am super regular and with my change to a high protein/low carb diet I was getting pretty constipated. So I highly recommend them.

I take a Gummy probiotic. It regulated my bowels. I was chronically constipated. I am 2 weeks out from surgery and started the probiotic again because I went back to bad Constipation.
