Being at a stall is frustrating. I always hit one around that time of the month. An at other times, it's a reminder to stick to the plan and up the Protein and exercise.

Wht is ppi? Thanks for the advice.

A PPI is a Proton Pump Inhibitor. It is meant to be taken daily, every morning about 45 Mins - 1 hour before eating. It protects our stomach by actually stopping most of the pumps that release stomach acid.

Acid reducers are only used for after we already have too much in our stomachs.

I use Omeprazole / Magnesium from Walgreens. It works just as good as Zegerid for me. You'd have to give each brand at least 2 weeks trial before knowing which one works best. I don't even have the need to use any acid reducers since my brand works so well.

Our stomachs are so tiny and our proton pumps still make just as much acid after as if it were still working for a normal sized stomach. Some of us need extra help with it with medications. It can also be a huge phantom for hunger as well.

      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.
