Did your surgeon or a Dr put you on anything for acid reflux or heartburn after surgery?

I wasnt allowed my protein shakes for two weeks. I had water, gatorade (electrolytes saved my life energy wise), any soup broth, sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles. Basically they told me any clear liquids! I watered down my gatorade but it was seriously what gave me any energy and made me feel I could make it through the day.

I am wondering if anyone can enlighten me as to the digestion time of the average food after having the VSG process done. I know steak and other such foods are harder to digest and take a longer time. For example, potatoes... from eatting them and them hitting your stomach, how long until your stomach is empty again?

Do not have any negative thoughts in your head. I just had my surgery on Sunday and any time I started thinking that way I turned to positives. Keep positive. You will do great! I had a moment after surgery that I regretted it... thinking what the hell did I just do! But now I am on the mend and feeling great!! This is an investment in your life... just keep positive!!
