Heartburn/ Acid reflux



Recommended Posts

Sleeved on 12/18/17 I was doing fine minus the 64oz of Water, very hard. I’m 6 weeks in and started having a hard time with Protein. Hard for me to digest chicken, salmon most anything without feeling stuff. I manage to go from S.W.- 290 C.W. 242.6. Off to a great start but the a week ago I started having severe heartburn even though I have been on Prilosec since I came home from the hospital. Has anyone been experiencing this. Some days I get anxiety about eating because I do it want to deal with the burning in my chest. Please let me know if anyone experienced this and what was you trick in dealing with.

I had my surgery on 12/27/17. I was doing so bad with Water intake/ any Fluid intake that I was dehydrated the first week. I had to find what worked for me. Very warm teas worked for me, or slushy drinks that I’d make myself out of diet cranberry juice (dilute it to cut the sweetness) and a bunch of ice blended. I was also told no straws but honestly I get more gas and heartburn when I don’t use a straw so for me it worked! I’m 1 month and two days in and I still am not allowed to eat chicken although I’ve had a few small moist chicken pieces here and there last week. I would say don’t do chicken... yet! I’m on soft foods so mashed sweet potato, mashed cauliflower, oatmeal’s, eggs, tilapia are things you can eat. I can’t tolerate milk, eggs or tilapia so I stay away for a while. Also Protein wise! I could NOT get in protein from Protein Shakes at all till about two weeks ago! Late I know! Still lost weight though.

Premier protein shakes are my absolute enemies, which sucks cause I used to love them before surgery now I can’t stand any shake. So I drink protein drinks like water protein drinks. Isopure has some!

      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.
