Default Anyone on Creon? or "overshot"?

Hi folks.

New to the forum so forgive me if this is in the wrong place.

I am "overshot" on my RNY and am now a size 4. (size 0 in the USA). I am trying everything I can to regain and will probably be started on Creon in Spring to get me back up to a "normal" BMI.

Is anyone else on Creon who can give me any advice about Creon?

I am doing everything I can to regain but I have very strong malabsorption which I do believe hinders me regaining some weight.

Thank you folks.

I've never heard of it. What is it? A supplement?

Its a pancreatic enzyme given to RNY'ers to stop the malabsorption. It might have an different name in the US.

Default Multizymes

Cat...I was getting down there during my internal hernia time span....another forum told me about enzymes that they sell at vitamin stores and even walmart here. IT has enzymes from fruits and veggies and even Ox bile to help break down the food for absorption. I take it with my vitamins and one before each meal. My blood panels have always come back great and I've maintained for about a year and a half but I wasn't trying to gain.

Talk to a nutritionist and maybe add more healthy fats 9omega 3 and 6s-olive oil, flax seed oil safflower oil, borage oil, walnut oil....macadamia nuts, almonds, walnuts) to your meals with a few whole grain carbs. If I add fats with carbs, my body puts on weight and I have to go back to keeping the two seperate. So for you needing to gain....how about adding carbs with healthy fats?
