I'm a little over 2 weeks out and have heartburn like crazy. I'm onto puréed food but not losing. I lost 19lbs really fast and now nothing. Is that normal 2 weeks out?

How much have you lost since surgery? What do you do for your heartburn?

call doc on the heartburn in the morning. There are many who take meds for it. I have actually doubled up on my meds and I'm about to start my 3rd mo.

Good luck!

Thank you:). I take Prilosec but I'm thinking I'm going to have to double up on it too. It's an awful feeling.

You can take Prilosec twice a day. If that doesn't help call your doc for a prescription PPI.

I was sleeved on 7/15 too, I'm only down 14 as well I think! Trying to go by my doctors scale which is 2 pounds lighter then mine at home. I only lost 1 pound this week. How many carbs are you eating in a day? I'm starting to wonder if I'm eating to many.

@ca530 im barely eating carbs. I would say maybe 15grams. I'm mostly still drinking a lot, ie my Protein Shakes, Water, Crystal light, and watered down cranberry juice. If I do have carbs it's from cheese.

I've been eating Greek yogurt and Protein Bars. The bars say only 3 grams of net carbs. But I don't know if I'm suppose to be counting net carbs or carbs listed on the package. I getting about 40 grams of carbs a day. Because of those 2 things.

I think u r suppose to go off total carbs. It sounds like we are both at a stall. I eat yoplait greek yogurt. Their vanilla flavor is really good and it doesnt have that greek yogurt taste. I don't know off hand the carbs but it's super low. I know it's less than chobani. How r u feeling? I'm taking my Vitamins but I'm feeling super tired still. I don't want to do anything.

Ill have to ask my doctor about the carb thing. I was really tired the first few days, but after like day 5 I have been fine. I swear I can't sleep at all at night. I just took Benadryl to hopefully fall asleep at a normal hour. I'm up and moving sound like usual. I went school shopping for my kids today for 3 hours, then took my daughter to a horse farm and walked all over. What type of Vitamins are you taking? My only thing is my left side above my incision where she cut through the stomach muscle is still killing me. Every now and then I ave to take a muscle relaxer if I over do it with activity. It's hard I forget I had surgery so I catch myself picking stuff up that I'm not suppose to or bending the wrong way and I get a sharp pain. I hope you get your energy back soon!

      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.
