Day 4 Post Op

Did your surgeon or a Dr put you on anything for acid reflux or heartburn after surgery?

Nope. I didn't get it till today. If I still have it tomorrow I'll call and ask for something.

I highly recommend the Prevacid Solutab. They dissolve easily in your tummy. Works WONDERS. I have acid reflux daily. Mostly at night when I lay in bed. Not good. Be sure to ask for something or at very least, keep a bottle of Pepto in the house.

I'm on 30grams of Protein shakes and 64fl oz everyday for 2 weeks. Haven't managed any of it yet! LOL! Have gotten about 24fl oz down so far, which includes about a 3rd of my shake, today.

Doc actually specifically said NO gatorade/g2 stuff! I don't know why, didn't think to ask. Hmmmm.

Anyway, that's it for me for 2 weeks, then I can start progressing w/yogurts, applesauce, etc.

I have to read my paperwork again b/c I can't remember much of it.

Oh! And I'm on Rx acid reducer stuff. Capsule that I open, put the little things in my mouth, then wash down w/a sip of Water. 2x a day for 2 weeks, then 1x a day for another week.

Is Prevacid over the counter or does he need to prescribe it?

ITS PRESCRIBED BECAUSE IT'S THE SOLUTAB WHICH IS EASILY ABSORBED IN OIR NEW TUMMIES

I wasnt allowed my Protein shakes for two weeks. I had Water, gatorade (electrolytes saved my life energy wise), any Soup broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles. Basically they told me any clear liquids! I watered down my gatorade but it was seriously what gave me any energy and made me feel I could make it through the day.

THAT is the STRICTEST post-op diet I have heard. Yuck!
