Hi All - Just new to this forum, but I am finding I do need some help. I have been suffering from Nausea and Heartburn ever since I have progressed to the soft food phase. Trying to find foods my body agrees with and keeping my energy levels up is quite difficult yet I continue to push forward every day.

I would love to hear from people who have also had these issues and what they have done to overcome them. I have been to the doctors about the heartburn, but I just want to feel good not tired or worried everytime I go to eat.

Thanks

Vanessa

Im 4 months out not sure if I can offer much help . My stomach did lots of different things at the beginning. It sounds like heart burn ,your stomach is getting use to processing soft foods. If your antacids aren't working maybe back off of the soft foods and go back to more liquids to get all your nutrients in. Some days my stomach was like "im not eating that" and Id go back to a shake ,then try again the next day. You have to take it day by day and pretty soon your knew tummy will be just like before only smaller. Good luck.

I found if I take nexium and Pepcid twice a day and eat Pepcid completes two times a day it puts the acid in check and I stay full . If I just do the nexium and Pepcid I feel the acid and it makes me feel hungry . If I just take my Pepcid twice a day I get real bad heartburn . Hope this info helps I just had my surgery may 30 2014

      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.
