No but after omg this may be something you have to adjust to just watch what you eat and drink anything with alot of acid will make it flare up Orange juice Red sauces chocolate






See this is what I don't want, I've never had acid reflux in my life and I definitely don't want it it ... Ugh

I take Pepcid twice a day and that has helped me much. I also try to avoid any foods I know will cause it to flare up.

A lot of it comes from food and drink choices. Got to stay away from acidic items (tomatoes, citrus fruits), high fats, and spicy for sure.

But apple cider vinegar is supposed to help. And maybe some peppermint essential oil too. Some others out there too...can't remember them.

Hope you find relief too.

      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.
