Is anyone else having a problem with acid reflux? I'm already taking an antacid everyday. I notice that it will act up when I'm hungry but the acid makes me not want to eat. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what exactly is causing it? Also, I've read about people who said they were never hungry after surgery. I guess I'm not one of those lucky people because I still get hungry everyday. Although sometimes I can't tell if I'm hungry or its just the acid. I'm 7 weeks out by the way and feel amazing other than the acid reflux issue!

I have exactly the same thing! I'm 12 days out and the one by my belly button hurts when I move certain ways other than that I almost forget I had surgery sometimes! I'm chalking it up to healing but it's good to hear that other people have experienced the same. Good luck!

I'm 12 days out and it definitely gets easier. The first couple of days I just concentrated on sipping fluids and seeing how that went. I had some jello and thinned yogurt but realized I needed to concentrate on protein. So now I make sure to start with my protein shake(s) before I eat anything else. Make sure to sip water or flavored water between because protein shakes tend to make you more thirsty. I give myself a goal of at least one protein shake and one bottle of water before anything else. It usually takes all day to get there so I really don't end up eating much else. I've also started a liquid vitamin. That's just how I do it. Good luck on your journey!

I was sleeved on the 19th so 11 days post op. I've lost 25 pounds so far, including pre-op diet. Feeling great in general although I have had some dizziness and pain around the incision closest to my belly button. Other than that, I'm ready for some flavorful food and ready to lift my 15 month old son up again. It has been a little difficult getting in more than 400 calories on most days. By the time I finish my protein shake, it's the end of the day!

This is my first post y'all! I just got back from having my sleeve done in Mexico with Dr. Ortiz and Alighterme (I definitely recommend them!). I am 5 days post op and I am eating like a snail. I had a bad reaction to the anesthesia and was vomiting my whole first night and am so paranoid about leaks even though the leak tests were clear. Other than some acid reflux, gas, and mild soreness, I feel great! I had some general questions and everyone on here is so amazingly kind and encouraging. It's strange to go from researching on this forum to actually commenting as a sleever. I think it's all still sinking in! -did anyone else have a lot of acid reflux the first couple of weeks? I'm trying to figure out if it happens when I'm "hungry" since I don't really feel hungry or if its because something I drank is coming back up. My doctor told me I could have Protein shakes, broth, liquids, yogurt, and Jello. I've been taking it slow but still dealing with the gas and acid. -when does the gassiness go away?! -how likely are you to pop a stitch from eating too much? Can it be caused by the gas and bloating? Any answers to any of the questions is so appreciated! Good luck to everyone on their journeys!
