dmich108 0 Posted November 1, 2013 Had the VSG on 10/24. Was doing fine, until today. Woke up with severe reflux. Eating yogurt didn't help. Drinking Water made it worse. Spoke to surgeon's assistant, finally, and was told -- ready for this -- I'm not eating enough. First time in my life I've been told that. I've been "eating" Greek yogurt, about 4 teaspoonfuls at a time; drinking Protein Shakes, about two hours to get down 4 ounces; a little bit of chicken broth; and water. Anyone have any ideas what more I can try to eat at this point. I don't get to introduce food until around Thanksgiving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
endless80 697 Posted November 2, 2013 Water Water water Protien is important but hydration is more important. Especially at this stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
endless80 697 Posted November 2, 2013 As far as food goes, liquids, Water, dilluted apple juice, muscle milk Protein Shakes are decent, water, water, water, sugar free popscicles, crystal light, thin Soups strained of any chunks and of course, more water.

beckyj1383837862 0 Posted November 2, 2013 How long were you in pain? I'm afraid something is always wrong. I just had my surgery Tuesday and was discharged today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmich108 0 Posted November 2, 2013 what a difference a day makes. I took some Carafate, which works much better than Prilosec or Prevacid, and that got my stomach to "calm down". then I ate more. now I feel much, much better. so my surgeon's assistant was right; I wasn't eating enough. now I will eat every 2 1/2 hours and drink in between. seems to be a great schedule to follow even after food is introduced back. can't get hungry that way!!
