Topic: RE: taking digestive enzymes?

Murf- I would talk to your RNY surgeon about this before taking anything. I was told to call before taking any kind of laxative because there are some that are unsafe for us. Im seeing my doc on Monday for my 1 month checkup and I am going to ask which are safe for us to take bcuz I am constipated ALL THE TIME and it's awful! I'll let you know

Also I have RA as well, luckily Ive never gotten to the point of needing infusions (yet?). I take mobic but since surgery I havent had a flare and have been feeling good, just the usual chronic fatigue. I also have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis in my knees.

I think just overall feeling better, thinking more clearly without all the sugar in my system. Its nice to realize that I dont need all that junk food and excess amounts of food and that I am fine...

I feel confident again
I EAT TO LIVE not LIVE TO EAT!
My clothes (18/xl) are getting baggy (I was a TIGHT 18 or xxl before RNY) I wore a LARGE t shirt yesterday! Woowoot!

MY ARTHRITIS has already improved, drastically... I feel so good

If only I had energy... (chronic fatigue has always been a problem for me though)

current weight- 221! From 258!

I haven't lost much weight since surgery and I know I am fitting my clothes better....but my favorite thing since weight loss surgery is...(insert drumroll here) THE MONEY I SAVE !!!! I couldn't believe the denial I lived in... I can safely say that with groceries and fast food/dining out I spent about 600+ a month on food. WTH was I doing to myself. I have extra money now

I have the money to go out and be active and have fun. It is amazing. I imagine in time when the weightloss is more noticeable that I will have a real good time spending that money.
