Acid Relux From Hell



Recommended Posts

I did not have reflux before the gastric sleeve surgery but now it's in full force. I am 12 weeks out and have had mild reflux from the beginning but just recently it has gotten worse. I had an EGD a couple weeks ago that showed a hiatal hernia, esophagitis, gastritis and obviously reflux. The GI dr increased my omeprazole to 40mg twice daily and Carafate at night. Anything I eat or drink including Water messes up my whole system. My stomach goes all crazy, I get pain, always feel too full even only eating an oz of food slowly. This is horrible, I hope it gets better and I don't need surgery again!!!

      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.
