Indigestion.....



Recommended Posts

for the last 4 or 5 days i have had some incredible indigestion. at first i thought it was my coffee habit finally catching up with me so i cut that back to almost nothing. i only seem to get it during the day and it's not right when i wake up it's usually later after i have had something small to drink or eat. This morning i woke up just fine and was on my way to work drinking my V8 splash - about the time i got to work i was ready to throw up. i don't have any issues with eating no more than norm - meaning if i rush i have the usual probs but if i eat right and take my time all is good. Has any one else had unexplained indigestion? i have my normal appointment on the 26th trying to decided if i need to pull it in. i don't have any of the other signs i was told to watch for - night cough/heart burn. just a horrible feeling that i need to be sick :(

Gallbladder. Do you still have yours? Something like 30% of all WLS patients have to get theirs out. I was having "attacks." Horrible stomach pain and nausea that would last anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours. The risk factors are the four F's. Female, over Forty, Familial, and Fast Fat loss. Hope it's not that for you. I'm having mine out in January.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
