Hello Thanks‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ for sharing your concerns. I really appreciate that you are doing well post your stomach surgery. However, the fact that you are underweight despite you having a good appetite and protein intake makes me think that your Agni (digestive & metabolic fire) is still at the recovery stage in a deeper way.

The body goes through the process of restoration of digestion, absorption, and Dhatu formation - particularly Mamsa (muscle) and Meda (healthy fat) - after the surgery on the abdomen.

✅Ayurvedic Understanding of Your Condition

Most probably Agni and Rasadhatu are still affected even after surgery has healed.

The post-operative period of the abdominal surgeries may be accompanied by: Vata aggravation - poor tissue nourishment Rasa & Mamsa Dhatu kshaya - difficulty gaining weight A good appetite does not necessarily imply that assimilation is also good.

Therefore, the work is to: Deepen Agni then strengthen digestion and enhance Dhatu formation so it will finally lead to healthy weight gain safely

✅ Are You Allowed to Take Ayuvya Weight Gain Supplement?

If your digestion is strong, then you can take it but keep in mind the following: ✔️ Normally it does not bring side effects

Yet weight gain is not just a matter of protein powders

✔️ Ayurvedic system of medicine is very clear that Pachana + Deepana + Brimhana are the key points rather than just supplementation In most cases, commercial supplements barely work if the person has not fixed his/her Vata and Agni imbalances first.

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

👉 Brimhana (Weight-building) Medicines 1. Ashwagandha Lehyam – 1 tsp twice daily after meals 2. Shatavari Kalp – 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime 3. Drakshasava – 15 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner (boosts appetite + absorption)

If digestion is weak: One should take Pippali Churna 1–2 pinch with ghee once a day for 15 days.

✅DIET MODIFICATION

The importance of your diet cannot be compared to that of a supplement.

Best foods to rebuild muscle & healthy fat Warm milk + ghee (daily) Khichadi with ghee Moong dal soup Rice + ghee + soft-cooked vegetables Almonds soaked overnight (6–8) Dates (2–3 per day) Banana milkshake (not at night) Sweet potato, pumpkin, beetroot Paneer, homemade curd, ghee Dal + rice + ghee — perfect for Mamsa Dhatu Wheat chapati with ghee Mutton soup (if non-veg)

❌Foods to definitely avoid

Raw salads Very spicy food Skipping meals Dry foods (increase Vata) Packed protein powders

✅Lifestyle Advice Sleep 7–8 hours Light yoga — Bhujangasana, Vajrasana, Setubandhasana Do not over-exercise Oil massage with Balaashwagandhadi Taila daily for 10–15 min is a great way to Dhatu poshana

Warm regards, Dr. Snehal ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌Vidhate

Considering you have recently undergone stomach surgery, it’s important to adopt a cautious approach to supplements, including the Ayurvedic ones. Before introducing any new supplement, it’s critical to consult with your healthcare provider, as they can tailor advice based on the specifics of your surgery and current health status.

In Ayurveda, weight gain is not just about increasing calorie intake, but nurturing and strengthening your digestive fire (agni) to ensure better absorption and assimilation of nutrients. Since you’re already consuming healthy and protein-rich foods, enhancing Agni could be beneficial.

Start with incorporating Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) into your diet. This renowned adaptogenic herb can support metabolism and weight gain, while bringing balance to the nervous system. You can take it in powder form, about 1 teaspoon twice a day with a glass of warm milk, ideally with a small amount of jaggery as a sweetener, if tolerated.

Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), another nourishing herb, can help in strengthening dhatus (body tissues). Consider adding Shatavari churna to your routine, at a dosage of ½ teaspoon daily with a glass of warm milk or water.

Eat small but frequent meals to avoid any strain on the digestive system. Cooked and light-to-digest meals, seasoned with spices such as ginger, cumin, and black pepper, will aid digestion without overwhelming your stomach.

Incorporate healthy fats into meals, like ghee (clarified butter)—which is not only soothing but also nutritious. One-teaspoon of ghee in your dal or rice can be a perfect addition.

Physical activities such as gentle yoga or a walk post-meals can improve circulation and digestion.

Should you and your healthcare team find that additional supplementation is still needed, the safety and compatibility of Ayurveda-based supplements like Ayuvya should be explored thoroughly under a specialist. Each of the aforementioned dietary changes, herbal remedies, and lifestyle tips, can be significant on their own.
