Am I The Only One............



Recommended Posts

that wakes up all throughout the night with gas & reflux (throwing up a little)?

I'm 19 days out and no matter what I consume, Water, Protein Shakes, Vitamins, I'm up all night belching or having the reflux thing. I am on Prilosec 2 times a day and I do take one right before bed. I'm not getting much sleep because of this and I return to work next week!!! I switched my vitamins from thr chewable Bariatric w/ Iron to gummies and I am trying unflavored Protein today, just in case they are the cultprit. I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem.

I did too... Try sleeping propped up on pillows.... That helped keep my reflux under control during the first 3 months.

you are still swollen inside. It will get better. I slept in a recliner for the first 3 weeks to make it easier. Once swelling went down I have slept like a baby:)

I'm one week out and I wake up every night because of horrible gas pains in my chest that radiate up and down my stomach. It feels like someone is ringing me inside out. I'm hoping it gets better too because it is seriously painful. Can't stand the spasms.

Rosswife. So glad to hear I am not the only one. I am 19 days post and after every meal for about an hour and before bed and through the night I feel like I'm having a heart attack. It's awful. I am on ppi but am struggling to even eat two spoonfuls of food without incredible pain. Going to see doc tomorrow as quiet worried about this.

Have you tried taking your second pill an hour BEFORE bedtime so that it had time to work before falling asleep?

I usually take the 2nd pill about 30 mins before I lay down because i will usually fall asleep with in 1hour or so.

      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.
