My surgeon put me on a 2 week liquid diet 2 Fridays ago thinking I was too tight and had a dilated pouch. I had really bad acid reflux along with it. Today she told me to go ahead and start eating food since I felt a lot better and she would get me my gastrografin swallow prescription so I can go have that done. Well, I ate some crab cake and that acid reflux lump is back right in the back of my throat! I'm totally unfilled and was on liquids for almost 2 weeks. What the heck? I'm starting to think this may be more serious than a dilated pouch. Has this happened to anyone else?:thumbup:

I'm fairly new as well, but I do know that constant acid reflux could be a sign of a hiatal hernia. I know that was the case with me. I too would bug my Dr. to see what is up.

Wish I could be of more help.

Good Luck!

I thought about the hernia too. I had a small one before surgery but I'm not sure if she fixed it or not I keep forgetting to ask. I'll definitely remember to bring that up to her again.

      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.
