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.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
