I was sleeved 3/29, so it's still early, but I've only had one episode of reflux bothering since surgery. Before surgery I had really bad GERD and had been taking Prilosec twice a day for about 5 years. My surgeon suspected a hiatal hernia, but didn't find one when he got in there. I've continued taking the Prilosec post-op and have been fine most of the time.

Thanks. I'll stick to clears for now.

Hi everyone- I am 8 days post-op and supposed to be on full liquids, but only seem to tolerate clear liquids. If I try anything else, I end up with really bad diarrhea. I've tried three different brands of protein drinks, protein powder added to broth and protein powder added to thin Cream of Wheat with no luck. Aside from staying on clear liquids for a few more days, any suggestions?

Are you getting enough Water? I'm on day 8 and the first few days were tough. I do much better when I drink a ton of water, sugar-free Gatorade or crystal light. Hang in there!

Me, too! I'm nervous and excited. (And also hungry- just started the pre-op diet yesterday)
