Hi, I was sleeved on the 26th. I have started taking the post op antibiotics and the reflux pain and pressure was so bad I have been up all night. I have to take this antibiotic for over a week and don't know how I'm gonna keep taking these pills every 12 hours. I so do not want to sound like a wimp but I have literally been up all night and fly home today. Did anyone else run into this problem and have any suggestions?

Why are you on antibiotics? Are you on reflux meds?

Call your doctor/surgeon.

I also got my surgery on the 26th and I'm sure hoping I'm not going to regret what I've done down the line. I had a lapband since 2006, it has to be removed because I had to have hernia repair and it wasn't safe to replace the band, hence the sleeve. I have had terrible reflux and feel all around like sh*t!! Hope this all goes away because I really can't undo what's been done.

Hello ladies, the antibiotics were just a normal part o the post op protocol. I did call the surgeon, turns ut I was not supposed to crush the pills, I was to swallow them whole. I did that with some watery yogurt and it went down with no problem. I also picked up and OTC reflux med and I am 100%!

      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.
