The Gym and Water giving me grief



Recommended Posts

I have been going to the gym for the past week. I do about an hour of the eliptical. I get the worst heartburn during, but especially after the workout. I also get terrible heartburn when I drink Water. I make sure it is 3 hours plus after I eat before I hit the gym. Anyone else experience this and have any suggestions?

I agree. I was told that if you get heartburn that there could e a problem with the band. Most likely its too tight. Call the Dr. Heartburn is miserable.

I do not think the band is too tight as I am eating okay. It only happens when I work out and drink Water. I do not have an issue drinking water throughout the day. I wonder maybe if it is the type of foods I am eating for dinner that night as I tend to work out at 8pm or so?

My Doc gave me Pepcid Plus, and it helped with Heartburn.

We were all put on this for a while.

It's over the counter, and chewable.< /p>

But call your Doc about the Heartburn, he might prescribe something.

Like I said you should not be having heart burn at all EVER. You dont know that the band is not too tight. My doctor has a poster up in his office that states if you have heartburn at all you are too tight. You should not have heartburn at all ever.

I get heart burn and pains sometimes if I am drinking Water especially if it is cold. Before going gyming I take room temp Water with me and I am usually ok. Sometimes I add some crystal light that for some reason makes it easier to go down.

Heart burn is def a sign you need an unfill but like you I dont have any problems with the band. Last week the problems were bad with the pain but this week after having mostly liquids and no spicy food for a few days everything is at peace again.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
