  1. So I thought I'd had heartburn for the past few months, but a recent scope revealed it is actually chemical gastritis. The doctor has prescribed medication to resolve the issue. Has anyone else had this issue? What was the outcome?

    3 days post surgery and vomiting....

    I was like that the first four days post op. They sent me home with anti-nausea medication it was so bad. Here was my regiment; take anti nausea medication wait 20 minutes take pain medicine, wait 20 more minutes then I could alternate popsicle, ice chip and sipping water. Hope this helps.

    Under 215 n bmi 36 anyone like this?

    I'm right there with you 5'2" 211 BMI 38. I was afraid of being denied as well but I have at least 3 comorbidities. Trust your surgeon he wouldn't put you all the prep work if he didn't believe you weren't an idea candidate.

    any protein shake ideas?

    I am still pre-op but I wanted to get a jump on my protein intake. I use frozen fruit and your favorite protein drink/shake, put in a blender and make a shake. No sweetener or yogurt required the frozen fruit makes it thick and sweet enough. On days that I don't think ill get to my protein goal I add a scoop of protein to the mix and I get at least 50 grams in one shot.

    If you drink a hot beverage after, even plain water it'll make it work a bit faster.
