Re: heartburn

Try 1/8 teaspoon baking soda in a glass of Water. If you can taste it, use less. Baking soda works great for relieving heart burn/ acid reflux issues! I use the aluminum free baking soda.

If you can get your food intake along a more alkaline diet you may experience less heartburn.

Also, tuna is good in small quantities, not completely off limits.

I am 19 mos PO GS and just found out I'm pregnant this wknd! This was planned, as my surgeon suggests waiting 18 mos before trying to get pregnant.

I've been starting my day with a tonic of fresh grated (frozen) ginger steeped in 1 cup of hot Water. Add in the juice of one lemon and 1-2 spoonfuls of local unfiltered honey. Started alkalizing my diet in preparation for conception. Hoping for a healthy pregnancy since I lost so much weight before hand!

I'm 9.5 mos out from surgery and am 9 wks pregnant. I see a prenatal dietician that works closely with my obgyn and my primary dr and also my surgeon is doing follow ups also. I was worried about not in taking enough but she assured me baby will get what it needs just have to have labs more often and keep myself healthy. They did increase my calories from 750 per day to 1000 cals a day. She told me to do my best and I will have a healthy pregnancy.

Thank you so much! I feel better now. I had my first prenatal appt today which went well. I meet with my bariatric surgeon and the dietician next week so my nutritional intake and absorbs toon levels can be monitored.

I'm so thankful to read other post about pregnancy... I'm 6 mos. Post op and 15 weeks preggo. I have lost 15 lbs since finding out I was pregnant. I was very concerned with getting enough nutrition for the baby, but my appetite has increased a lot in the past few weeks. Everything is looking good and baby is healthy. Please continue to share your experiences, I love hearing about them. Congrats to you on your pregnancy.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
