Probiotic supplements can help end a stall
Taking a probiotic supplement is a must for weight loss surgery patients. As probiotics play a central role in determining how much weight you will lose after surgery and how long you keep the weight off.
Unfortunately, medication, stress, antibiotics and packaged / processed foods (all things weight loss surgery patients have to manage) have been proven to destroy these vital microbes.
Thus, if you are in the midst of a stall or battling regain. It is extremely important to learn how probiotics work.
Prebiotics are a secret food source that help jump start weight loss
Probiotics work by growing the good bacteria within your intestines. However, in order to do their job. Probiotics require a fuel source called prebiotics.
Prebiotic’s are non-living, non-digestible fiber compounds and are abundant in foods like: Leeks, onions, garlic, artichokes, green bananas, jicama, dandelion greens, beans, legumes, asparagus, raw honey, flax & chia seeds. To learn more about prebiotic’s click here
And since probiotics require prebiotics to work. If you are not eating prebiotic foods consistenly. This is like having a new car that doesn’t run because you forgot to put gas in it.
If you are not eating prebiotic foods on a daily basis. You must make sure your probiotic supplements contain prebiotics. For quality probiotic supplements containing prebiotics click here.

If you are looking to end a stall or just wanting to jump start weight loss. You need to join our private facebook group, the Gastric Health Club. Here’s what one of our members has to say….
I loved the recipes… easy and my husband loved them, as did I. I felt full and satisfied. I have not had a low blood sugar since following your 10 Day Back on Track Class Meal Plan and that was my goal.
Plus, the loss of 4 pounds was an added bonus. Looking back I realize I was not eating the right foods therefore I was having low blood sugars. I have a whole new way of thinking when it comes to eating thanks to the Gastric Health Club and to you Dawn! Thanks!!
