I just wanted to check with everyone to see if anyone is having acid reflux after everything you put in your mouth. I get up in the morning and take my vitamins and drink water it starts right away and everything after that burns my chest. I am almost three weeks out and this is a pain that I am taking tums all day everyday. Help!

I don't know if the brand has anything to do with it. I was prescribed omeprazole and I found it in the store today because I forgot to take it this morning so I bought some. I took two to equal my prescribed amount. It is working fine.

I have the empty gurgle noise when I feel hungry and once I feel like I have eaten enough I get the hiccups. That is so strange. My eyes are bigger than my stomach, lol. I actually had tacos for dinner last night and I had three bites and was done. Then had three this morning and still had three bites left. I am really seeing what my tummy can hold and it does not seem like much. It is still hard to get so many meals in but really trying hard.

Well I don't feel tired at all sleeved on 8/29. The strips are coming off on their own and I think I have one left to come off.

Ok so I found out the my doctor gave me a prescription for nexium but my insurance did not cover it. So I never got it filled, called today to find out what I could do. My favorite person at the hospital changed it to something that the insurance will cover. So I now have my medicine now so hope it will get better. Thanks everyone for the advice.

Yes it does go away but I can say that i am two weeks out and it does not feel the same way it did when I first came home. Now I dont notice it so much as I did before but remember to sip, sip, sip or you will feel like you are trying to swallow large gum balls whole.

I had the same thing happen but it was with eggs that I have been eating while on my pureed diet. I had some turkey sausage which stayed down but those eggs decided that they did not want to say down and up they came. But since I have been having issues with this citrus thing I have not really ate any food other than some potatoes and yogurt.

I was wondering if anyone is having issues with citrus in foods or drinks. I drank so crystal light yesterday and it made me feel crappy all day and I did not know what made me feel that way. But today I drank some lemon zigger tea and I felt the same way after I drank it. So, I did not have this issue before surgery so I dont think I can tolerate citrus anymore. I dont like this feeling because when I feel like this I cant drink or eat anything at all and thats not good because that affects my protein intake.

Well went for my two week follow up and I have lost 10 pounds since surgery and total of 25 pounds since starting this journey. I am now on soft foods and very happy about that but still having to deal with gas and reflux after meals and drinks. My doctor says its ok and it will pass so I won't worry about it. He also told me that me worrying about trying to wait 30 mins after eating is something I don't have to do. He just does not want me drinking with meals. So with that being said I did a lot better today with liquids and food today. Very happy that I have made this choice.

Hello my sleeve family, I was wonder I am newly sleeved and I am having an issue with getting food in and Water each day. So I was wondering does anyone have like a schedule that they are on by time to tell them when to eat? I need to set up some kind of schedule because I am not eating like I should. I dont get up until 9am and I may have an egg for Breakfast and then I try to drink water but I dont finish it for hours due to me working so i dont eat until 3pm and then I try to drink more but thats more time and I dont eat dinner til 9pm. So I really dont get the 4 to 6 meals in like they are saying. So, I need help!!!

I missed this topic, so here I am. I was sleeved on 8/29 and I am trying to work this journey but boy is it a major change to my life. I feel like a thirsty so I want to drink a glass of ice cold water fast but the sipping is driving me crazy and when I take to big of a sip I feel like I need to be burped. lol this is crazy. But its my new journey and I am taking it one day at a time.

Good luck see you on the other side

Congrats bethzy143. See you on the loser side

I was sleeved on 8/29 and was driving 8 days later but I wasn't on any pain meds.

Hey everyone. I am really feeling good Thursday will be two weeks and I go to the doc on Wednesday. I seem to be down from sw 306 and cw 295 but starting weight was 320 so I am feeling better about my decision since the gas is gone and I can take in more. I am back at work today and very happy about it, need to get away from my house. I have to figure out how to work my food for the day since my schedule is so crazy working 12-8pm. I don't want to eat that late at night but may have to in order to make sure my meals are spaced out. Has anyone set up a schedule for themselves to make sur you are eating enough?

The pain did last for a couple of days and now I am good other than the pain or soreness of the larger incision its ok. I am still trying to get the eating slow thing done but really hard but when I don't it feels like there is a lump in my chest.

Hey embersfallen, I am doing well. The gas is gone and I am eating purred foods and drinking a lot more Water. I was having an issue with having a bm but thanks to milk of mag. everything seems to be good. I want to find out if I can go back to taking my Fiber everyday like I use and it kept me regular. That gas x is the best!!!

Well today is another day and I am still full of gas taking gas-x to help it move slowly. I don't have a way to measure my water intake and a couple small spoon fulls of oatmeal, applesauce, and a premier protein shake. I have walked up and down my block once and can't do anymore because no one is here to go with me. I have been using my heating pad to help to move the gas around. I am already thinking what have I done. But what I know deep in my heart is troubles don't last always!!!!

I am experiencing the same thing but its only been 3 days, it seems be be slowing moving but its like its never ending gas. I dont think I getting enough of anything in me I am having a hard time with a glass of Water been drinking it for 6 hours, 2 oz oatmeal and thats it. I know I should be doing alot more but this gas is running me crazy and I am uncomfortable as every. I am not liking this feeling right now.
