Sour Stomach/heartburn Tonight



Recommended Posts

10 wks post op yesterday and tonight of all times if the first time I've experienced any kind of heartburn or sour stomach. I've taken a Zofran and a Dramamine for nausea and 2 Omeprazole's today and still have it. My meals today were as follows: egg for Breakfast, small cheese quesadilla for lunch and since I wasn't feeling well for dinner I ended up eating cottage cheese and a few crackers. I take an Omeprazole every morning but this is the first time I've experienced this. Is this normal?

I'm still on daily Prevacid to control my reflux, but I do find that occasionally I have heartburn anyway. This is usually as a result of taking an Advil Liquigel...but I do have the blessing of my bariatric surgeon to do this for medical reasons.

This will need to be reevaluated when I attend my next appointment.

I know you're not eating anything that really indicates heartburn, but weird things can trigger it for me. I can eat just about anything Tomato based, but just a little tiny bit of ketchup will do me in. Maybe try tweaking your diet a little? Can't certain allergies attribute to HB as well? Gluten? I'd definitely contact your Dr...Maybe he/she can offer some kind of advice as to what else you can do? Good luck! :) I know how awful HB can make you feel!!

      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.
