I had my Sleeve surgery on 9/30/15. I am currently eating normal foods but I'm getting heartburn after I eat!

Typical small meals are Proteins and veggies, no breads/rice/potatoes type of carbs...before surgery whenever I ate breads/starchy carbs I would get heartburn.

My surgeon did have to repair a fairly large hiatal hernia during my surgery.

Anyone else have this experience?? Any suggestions??

My surgeon asked I take an antacid for 60 days after surgery. Talk to your surgeon and let them know what is going on. Hope this gets resolved soon.

I agree with the suggestion to get a prescription for an anti-acid. Are you eating slowly and chewing enough? NOTE: I am not at the soft foods stage yet.

You need a PPI such as prilosec or the genric omeprazole. Your body hasn't caught up to your new tummy yet and is producing the same amount of acid in a much smaller space. Additionally that new tummy is working hard to break down all the high Protein you are feeding it. You can buy OTC or ask your doctor for a prescription.

I was sent home with a prescription for a PPI. I now just buy generic Omeprazole... I still take it.

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
