I'm 1 month post op and my doctor has me on Prilosec 40Mg . I have issues all the time with regurgitation. I done experience heartburn but just the regurgitation. Does this go away? Am I doing something wrong?

If food is coming back up you're eating too much or too fast, or drinking with meals. At least that's what it sounds like. Any sleeve discomfort and a heavy feeling in the back of the throat? Runny nose or excess saliva? These are all indicators that we've eaten too much. They take time to learn. More time for me than I care to admit. Lying down after a meal makes it worse, as does drinking.

All I could do is very slowly eat and stop well before I felt done, to allow my food room to swell in my sleeve. Then nothing would come back up.

If this isn't the issue, you might have a more serious reflux issue and need to see your doc for stronger meds.

But it's usually the learning curve. It's new to us. You'll get it.

Congrats on your new sleeve and good luck.

      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.
