Honeybunz I agree with you. With my sleeve I'm battling with appropriate portions. Idk what's too much or too little. I seem to have acid indegestion and I was told that is from eating too much.

Do you measure & weigh your food? That helps me a lot. GL!

Acid is not from eating too much. Many sleevers have issue with it. For most it's just a temporary stage. Your body is still produce the same amount of digestive acid it did pre- surgery. However you have significantly less space so it cause reflux . Many doctors prescribe a ppi such as omeprazole for their patients to combat this. My doc had me taking 20 mgs from day 1 post op. I didn't have any issues with acid until 3 mths in. Then I needed it. From mtg 3-6 I had to take 40mgs a day . Then my body regulated it's self and now I no longer need it.

Yes they do (that is what I was told by the bariatric surgery nurse and nutritionist).

Try to shoot for at least 64 oz of liquids a day and more if you are doing strenuous activities.

What dosage are you taking? Do you take it daily? If so at what time? Omeprazole isn't like tums. You have to take it consistently for it to be effective. When I needed it, u took it late afternoon/early evening around 2pm. If not by 4-5pm I would get that uncomfortably full/burning feeling. Others find it helpful to take first thing in the morning or at night before bed. However it needs a good week of taking it to be effective.

Yeah, his opinion is that high Protein is what's killing America. He wants us to eat plenty of Beans, whole grain oats, nuts, fruits & veggies. I have incorporated more of what he wants into my diet but I do love my Greek yogurt, meat & cheese (which he highly frowns upon). I just do my best and do what works for me.

I eat that way naturally. I'm a vegetarian

BLERDGIRL I'm learning so much from u rt now ???? I'm a year and a half post op....I must be eating too much then...then why is my Dr saying I'm starving and I'm not losing weight? Thx for omeprazole info...not doing anything consistent and I guess I want immediate change
