Hello All !

I am 3 1/2 weeks post op and for the most part I’m doing fine. However since being on solids from Day 15 , I find it very hard to eat 3 4oz meals per day , I vomit after drinking Protein Shakes and I have acid reflux after eating. Anybody else have this ? Does it get better ? Sure I look better on the outside but on the inside I feel terrible. Please tell me it gets better !

P.S. I’ve lost 25 lbs in three weeks ! I’ve lost 50 in total since 1 month pre-op !

Feel free to follow me on IG and i’ll do the same for support ☺️

Congratulations on your weight loss! I had the sleeve done August 2017 and bypass done a month ago. I assume you had the sleeve since you’re having reflux. The reflux isn’t abnormal. Are you on a PPI? I’m really surprised you’re on solid food. I don’t get solids till Thursday and I’ve already gone through this and even my sleeve didn’t get solids till 5-6 weeks.

Try another Protein Drink and scale back the solids for a bit. It might help your reflux. You can eat more smaller meals if that can help. Don’t be afraid to call your doctor or dietician for help!

I had bad acid reflux around Weeks 3-5, but it went completely away and now I don't have it at all anymore. It can get better.

I'm 4weeks post OP and I have very bad acid reflux as well. What I did was I scaled back on solids and went back to more protien shakes. I do feel a little better.

You are going to be well soon... I'm in my 9th month. But when I get my sleeve, I was in liquids the first week, second liquids plus yogurt, third blended, fourth purees, from the fifth for a complete month solids but fiber... 2 oz per meals every 2 hours with Protein Shake, or cheese sticks for Snacks between meals... and then all kind of solid... probably is too soon for your stomach to process it... maybe if you go back to purees for a while or meals without Fiber, try less oz of food too... for me it's help a lot to loose weight and to process food. Sorry my English isn't good if you don't understand anything tell me and I rephrase it...

      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.
