What about probiotics and weightloss?
on 6/22/14 9:14 pm
I've posted my struggles here to take off the gained 15-20 lbs. that I've recently put on and can't get off, and I've been thinking what's different? Besides being a year older :(, I've stopped taking probiotics.
Could that play a part?

I'd suspect that the probiotics won't affect weight, just gas. I'd say that bounce back is due to your sleeve being older/able to fit more in, your intestines absorbing more calories and probably some dietary relaxation - I know I'm not as strict as I was for the first 6 months.
*ETA if anyone does know of any correlation between probiotics and weight, I'm all ears.

OK I googled it and what came up was some small study that people who took probiotics did lose a small amount more weight than those who didn't. They suspect because they help you digest more efficiently. Of course they were not DS patients, so who knows.
I guess at 4 1/2 years out I have to accept this a bounceback and be grateful! Which I am everyday!
Thanks for your replies. :)
