Hey Vicki,

I was having heartburn all lastnight too. I think it was the chef salad I had for lunch and the broccoli Soup I had for dinner. I think I may have to do semi soft for a bit until my stomach heals.. I am trying a natural suppliment thats suppose to kill H-pylori called. Mastica (also called mastic gum), it comes in capsule form and I 4 a day. I've only been taking it for about a week and half and it seems to be working. Oh and I also take peptobismal to help coat my stomach..anyways if you keep having the heartburn try prilosec and the peptobismal. That'll "probably" help.

Yvette, how come your not on antibiotics for the h-pylori.

I do take prilosec and tums ultra, but honestly, i dont think the pill make it to my lower stomach where they work.:thumbup:

I decided to try a more natural approach first before using the antibiotics. I think it's working...I did'nt have any heartburn today. I did stick to more softer foods like turkey stuffing, softly cooked string Beans, a little mac&cheese and cranberry sauce....um and brownies and a little pie for dessert:blink::ohmy:

Oh and a glass of white wine..for the anti-oxidents:rolleyes2:

Good thing I did burned some of those calories by doing Contra Dancing (like square dancing). It was fun! Only problem with it was too much spinning..I was dizzy as hell afterwards!:ohmy:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
