I was having the same problem and my doctor put me on prilosec and it has really helped. I only have thrown up twice in the past 3 months that I've been on it.

I was type 2 before surgery went to the doctor last week and my non-fasting sugar was 83 my doctor now says I'm hypoglycemic and need to get my sugar up some. I've been off meds since the day of surgery. I was taking metformin and glipizide.

So went for my 2week post op appointment yesterday I have lost 23 lbs my doctors goal for me for the month was 23 lbs. The whole office was excited. I'm just thankful to lose anything and to be off all my diabetes meds. Finally on to the next stage. -

We were told that caffeine makes you hungry and that drinking carbonated drinks cause discomfort. I use to drink soda daily since my sleeve on Friday I haven't craved it yet and I mean everything I use to drink had caffeine in it.

So 5 days post op today no pain just still trying to get water in having no issues with protein shakes, having sugar free popsicles and yogurt with no problems but I was never a big water drinker so its hard to even get 16 oz down I think I will never meet my 48 oz daily goal. -

Did your psychiatrist do this?
rmb2300 replied to Zoumommy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My pshyc eval was horrible the lady was overweight herself but kept saying why dont you hust diet and exercise. I wanted to say why don't you. She was very rude abd if I could just diet abd exercise I wouldn't be obese in the first place, its just not always that easy. Then my surgeons office tried to reach her for 2 minths because her evaluation wasn't clear to if she had approved me. I had to call her office manager to even get her to call my surgeons office back. -

But I got my date 1/3/2014 at least I get to start the new year off right was suppose to have gone on a mini vavcation with my husband and best friends but that will have to wait this is so much more important for my life. -
I was told by my pulmonary specialist that it is recommended for use before and after the surgery he said even people with mild sleep apnea such as mine can have difficulty breathing after surgery and use of your CPAP before and after lowers the risk of problems.
