A Few Issues...

[tara1021 13]

I'M 6.5 weeks out and down a total of 57 lbs.

Sill having reflux issues. Doc prescribed Prevacid at my appt tues nd insurance is giving me fits. Still waiting. I've Ben taking OTC Pepcid since week two but it wears off at night.

I'm having issues with excessive sweating. It's constant! Anyone else!?

I'm also finding that nothing I drink tastes good! Today I bought minute maid 15 lemonade and it is currently making me happy.

I'm having a hard time getting all my Protein in. I'm just over protein shakes! Ugh!

Wow! Nice loss in 6.5 weeks (I'm down 59 in 4 months)! I still have some reflux issues. Doc says for me to try weaning myself off the Nexium, but I'm not ready yet. I didn't have sweating issues, I had/have freezing issues. My poor husband is really wishing I would wear a snowsuit in the car when he has the AC on!! LOL

Water tasted very very VERY funny to me up until about a month ago. Someone said it was due to a PH imbalance and I can believe that.

Good luck to you, but a word of caution - if you are struggling with reflux you may want to watch how much lemonade you drink - it's highly acidic and can worsen your reflux.

I was lucky to find that I quite enjoy the Premier Protein shakes (my fav is chocolate). 30 grams of Protein really helps me get it all in!

I was having some reflux issues right off the bat and my doc increased my PPI (Pantozole 20mg) to 2x per day. One dose in the morning on an empty stomach and one dose at night two hours before bed no liquid or food after that. He said I could use Gaviscon mid day if I had any buring midday. I have to say by the second day of dosing I had no more issue with reflux and only had to use the Gaviscon for the first two days.

I hope you get some relief soon reflux is nasty and painful!

No sweating for me so no insight there sorry.

I have premier shakes in the fridge. And I do like them, but the thought of drinking one right now nauseates me.

I'm real careful with the lemonade and won't drink it unless ive eaten something prior to. It tastes crazy good though! :-)

I have some reflux, but not sweating. I use to be hot natured, and now Im cold all the time. I worried they removed my tatsebuds during my surgery, cause nothing really tastes GOOD anymore, especially drinks!.
