hearburn advice



Recommended Posts

:help:The past week I have been getting heartburn (rarely had it before) The weird part is it does not happen during night. It happens during early day after first couple of bites of food it waxes and wains through out day and is usually gone by evening. Do you think this is band related or there is a problem with my band? Not having a problem eating or pain other then the heartburn. Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

Saw Dr yesterday (band and pouch fine) dr says i am probably tighter in am and should start off with liquids before progressing to solids. I did get a slight fill (.2 cc) brings me to a total of 4.6 cc. I hope that this does the trick. It is my 5th fill.

Thanks:)

I have the same problem with heartburn. It starts out early in the morning and makes me miserable thru out the day. I started taking an over the counter acid reducer just an off brand name and it makes the world of difference. I take one every morning and it takes care of the problem all day long.

      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.
