Hi everyone...my daughter had her plication surgery Dec.31/12...when she came home, she had antacid medication prescribed, for the first 2 months. She has finished that, but continues to suffer quite a bit from upset stomach and acid reflex. Does anyone have any suggestions as what to take, to help relieve this? So far she has taken Tums and Papaya Enzymes...some relief, but is frustrating to her. Open to any suggestions and your experience with this...

Thanks

Lois I ran out of the meds a month after and switched to Pepcid ac and tums. It didn't work the same at all. So I took my original package to my dr ( it's Spanish lol) anyway he was able to prescribe me the same meds. Way better... I recently weened off them about a week ago but I'm ok now and glad I got those same ones again to take!

      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.
