Judi: The first item to improve sluggish metabolism is a MultiVitamin/Mineral supplement from the health food store.
Second item is Kelp & Tyrosine to support the Thyroid.
Third, is Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) tablets.
Fourth, is drinking Green & Black Tea and Coffee regularly.
The "Five Hour Energy" products or their generic equivalents (much more affordable) are worth trying as they contain many nutrients like those listed above to help weight loss.

Dear Judi,
A common treatment for fat deposits and for weight loss is apple cider vinegar. You can try 1 teaspoon in a glass of water once or twice a day and work up to as much as 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water once or twice a day, if it seems to be agreeing with you.
Also, because the drugs used in anesthesia can end up staying in the body a long time (affecting your metabolism and weight gain), you might try and do some liver detox. Dandelion tea, Milk thistle supplements and castor oil packs are a few ways to accomplish this.
