I did not experience the gas but i did and still do with the reflix...Horrible! The gas will need to dissapate and i dont think there is much you can do at first. The acid is something i hate so i have to take DAILY prevacid or a pill like that for at least 4 to 5 months. Another thing with acid is it can fool you into feeling hungry even though you may not be. Im at week 8 and its got better as the weeks progress.

Good Luck

in th begining i felt hunger pain untill someone told me it was reflux. i had capsuls and called oncall doctor he gave me the ok to take prevacid capsuls and then it got worsee. i was in soo muxh pain. and the reflux enhanced. now it actually feels like reflux comin thru my throat rather than a hunger pain. i could not sleep last night due to reflux. today ibcalled my doctors office they said i should not have takin capsul and from now on empty and crush the med i did so today i think it helped a little with reflux.

      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.
