WTG on the weight loss. Yes, I would suggest calling your dr to see if he will put you on a ppi, if you're not on one already. Best of luck.

Hey Ken,

Since we have the same doc, I guess it's possible that you're not on an acid reducer because he didn't give me one for after I left the hospital. I had to start myself on it after suffering from some bad reflux for a while. I got the OTC Prevacid cuz that's what they gave me in the hospital. After me complaining at a couple of post op visits, he gave me a script for it. But, it's seems kind of late for you to JUST be getting reflux. Have you tried any different foods recently or been sick?

Definitely let us know what the doc says.

      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.
