Appetite!

[pharmD_vsg 99]

Hi guys, I had my sleeve on 12/30/16. Over all I feel pretty awesome. I have been walking a lot. I have lost 13lbs since the surgery but for the past 3 days I've been stuck. Did any body experience such a thing ?! I'm kinda nervous and worried. Up to last week I didn't even get hungry but now I can feel that my appetite is back. I don't know if it's because I'm PMSing or just in my appetite is back in general.

I had my surgery on Dec 5 and just finished my first stall which lasted 2.5 weeks. My appetite has come back some but not anything like what it was before surgery. My doctor suggested taking Gaviscon chewable tablets twice a day in addition to the PPI that he prescribed me as sometimes acid production mimics hunger, you may want to try that, it's over the counter and it has really helped me.

Oh ok, thank you so much for replying. I'm not on any meds. So I'm not even taking PPI but I'll definitely try the Gaviscon. I hope it helps. My appetite is not nearly as bad but I just worried you know

For Acid Reflux, helps reduce the amount of acid the stomach creates.
