Is it ok to take a fat burning supplement after surgery? I’m 5 months out today. Im talking about ones from GNC or Total Nutrition, not anything like hydroxycut. Does anyone else use any? What is safe and effective? Thanks in advance!

If you're eating enough Protein and not a lot of high-fat foods, would a fat burner supplement really do any good?

Oh, I always thought they were for burning the fat on my body, not that I eat. I do stay low fat and high Protein.

I think they block the fat from the things you eat and burn it to prevent you from gaining it. I could be wrong, but that's how I THINK they work.

My advice would be to steer clear of anything like this until you’re out of your honeymoon phase.
Right now your body just got the best reboot known to us at this time so my thoughts are why risk screwing it back up again with fat burners?
Not saying that it would mess you up, but who knows exactly what the risk could be?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
