Your overall health status should be evaluated...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am sorry for the situation you are in.

Promote is a formula high in protein content. It is indicated in special cases with low protein.

In your case, you had a hernia operation six months ago. Although you might be feeling weak and tired, and you still can have your meals regularly, I do not think you should be taking Promote.

So, it is crucial to evaluate your overall health status by your doctor.

All the best!
Dr.Albana
