How do you manage stomach acid and heartburn?



Recommended Posts

I have a huge problem with this post op, I am already at the maximum suggested dose of an acid reducer. It works ok, but I have so much acid in me! It hard to eat solids, because this thick white foamy nasty acid goo is taking up all the room in my stomach. I throw up this crap all the time (which makes me feel instantly better). Have other sleevers experienced this? And how do you minimize it?

The foaming isn't from acid, it's likely from eating too fast.

I was on 40mg omeprazole for 2 months post op. Cut down the the 20mg over-the-counter dose after that, but recently went back up to 40mg (two 20mg doses a day) now.

My doctor mandates six months of prilosec. When I forget to take it, trust me, I know about it. I'd recommend something like that combined with hot liquids to push the goo through.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
