Ugh!! Never had any acid reflux prior to being sleeved but boy oh boy do I have it now! No matter what I eat, how I sit, how slow I eat or how good I chew I get it. If I eat then take a nap I wake up with a throat full. Dr says its from the hernia repair he did but I didn't have any symptoms of a hernia prior to my sleeve surgery. Its been almost a month since I was sleeved. I'm popping Pepcid like candy but it gives me little relief. I wish it would go away!!

I have the same problem! I tried not sitting down I'd take a bite and walk around the house go back take another bite and walk etc. I tried sitting and putting my spoon down, and I've tried making myself wait between bites by watching the clock. Unfortunately nothing has helped

I just spoke to my doctor about this as I was having severe acid reflux after being sleeved and a hernia repaired. He said that the acid reflux is due to the repair of the hernia and that I will go away in time. I wish he would've told me this when I saw him after surgery!!! He has me on Pepcid complete chewable.

Oh I love this recipe! Taste just like lasagna with out the noodles!! I'm making myself a papaya stuffed with crab. Put crabmeat, 1/2 mango, coconut Water, and a SMALL dash of balsamic vinegar(think sweet and sour) in blender and puree.I like spicy so I put a squeeze of srarachia sauce too Take the mixture and place in small ripe papaya that had been cut in half with the seeds removed .Or take a half of avocado remove pit take shrimp and in ketchup, horseradish sauce 1/2 envelope of stevia some lemon juice place in blender and puree and fill the avocado.

I feel so much better. They gradually went away but came back when I started pureed foods. But of course they too once again gradually disappeared. I start solids on New Year's Day so I'm sure I'll be in pain again! lol I spoke to my doctor and he said they are probably gas pains or my stomach reacting to having substance in it. Thanks for asking how I was doing!

I am 1 week post op with a gastric sleeve and I get these shooting pains in my stomach that make my eyes water!!! It usually happens when I drink but also happen on an empty stomach. Has anyone ever have this issue??

I had them so bad it actually made my eyes tear!!! It felt like I was getting stabbed in my stomach or my stomach was having a spasm. No matter how slowly I drank or what I drank I still got them. I even got them when I wasn't drinking I spoke to my surgeon who looked at me like I was crazy! I did something I probably shouldn't have done but it got me thru it. I took 1/2 dose of my pain med and that seemed to help. Now 2 weeks later they are gone Thank god!!

WOOOHOOOO!! That is totally awesome!!!

My sleeve was done on Dec 3 and I haven't lost a single ounce since my surgery!! Ugh I'm so frustrated :-( Has this happened to anyone? Any suggestions or idea why this is happening to me? TIA

I dropped the Carnation Instant Breakfast. So now I drink just one Protein shake which is 42g of protein........Protein Shake Per 8 oz if I add non fat milk powder and 1oz of feta for extra protein its about 275cal. So I'm doing roughly 600-800cal per day. Went to doctor yesterday and scale is finally moving Yaay!!!!

I do a homemade Protein shake. I use either Fage or Oikos zero fat greek yogurt (22g protein per 8oz). Put yogurt in blender with some fruit (I like strawberries or bananas) stevia to taste 4tbs powdered nonfat milk (9g protein) and 4oz skim milk (4g protein) and 1 oz Feta cheese (7g protein). Total protein is about 42g Turns out yummy (you don't taste Feta) and no need to drink store bought protein! Its about 275cal so I only drink one a day and get the rest of my protein via other foods.

I took 1/2 cup of skim milk ricotta cheese put it in the bowl with 1 envelope of sweetener - stevia, trivia splenda- it really doesn't matter. I creamed it all together with my mixer and placed mix in a 6 oz ramekin. Baked it cooled it and presto I had 14 grams of delicious protein! Oh and I also drained the ricotta first so it wouldn't be to mushy. Yummy

Awesome!!!!!!

I'm a newbie but I took ricotta cheese mixed with stevia in a small casserole dish and baked it for about 25min @350 degrees. Refrigerated it till it set.....Then took fresh strawberries pureed them and poured it on top.... Mini Cheesecake Gastric Sleeve style

I'm getting 76g grams of Protein per day the last 5 days, although the first 6 days I did only 20g per day if that!. Can't handle the store bought Protein shakes since surgery as they make me nauseous now for some reason. So I've been making my own protein smoothie made with greek yogurt skim milk and fruit. I walk at least a mile everyday. My daily meals are 3 yogurt smoothies at 22g protein per, cream soup 7g protein once a day, Carnation Instant Breakfast sugar free w/skim milk 13g protein once a day. I drink caffeine free Crystal light Ice Tea all day long. Again this morning scale hasn't budged. smh

No it's in my stomach. Its almost like my stomach is having a spasm and it really hurts!!! I didn't have them in the hospital but then again I was so doped up on pain killers I wasn't feeling a thing lol It's like the liquid I'm drinking hits the stomach and BAM! the pain hits me. Or I'll be sitting at my desk and I get the sharp pain and my eyes tear up. I'm getting up from my desk every hour and walking around so the gases don't build up and I'm not over eating...Or should I say drinking...
