Weird Acid reflux



Recommended Posts

I used to have pretty bad acid reflux, especially at night while sleeping. Since surgery I haven't experienced any...until last night.

I was sleeved mid May, and am currently on Prevacid. I have been taking it every day and it's been working great. But yesterday morning, I was soo tired, and cold in my office, I caved and had a cup of coffee.< /p>

Last night, well this morning, around 430 am, I woke up to a choking feeling, and there was acid in my throat, I had to get up and cough it out, then drank some Water, finally had to take a few tums, which helped a little, but the acid came back slightly and I continued coughing for another 15 minutes, before being able to fall back asleep.

Has this happend to anyone else before? Do you think it was from the coffee that I had 17 hours earlier, or do you think it is something more serious?

Wow, you might want to run that by your primary care doctor..

I have acid reflux as well, had it for several years and am on previcid too.. .. I had "though" it would go away after surgery, it has calmed down some, but not gone away. I have noticed, that something I eat may be fine and sitting well in my tummy, but.... as soon as I add Water to it, boom.. it starts... I have gotten it from Crystal light too...

I am not complaining as it is much, much better than prior to sleeve..... but yes, I still have bouts. My primary doctor prescribed disolvable previcid - generic name: Lansoprazole ODT 30MG tablet - I have these for back up, when it kicks in I take the disolveable one as well as the daily capsule.

      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.
