Are you all swallowing the Prilosec pill? I was looking into it and I don't see a chewable...I want to go buy some right now because it's really bad. The thought of soup broth makes it worse! I am getting a little hungry, but don't know what to eat. Also, protein powder is mixed with what? Does it have a bad taste? I should have been prepared with that! I was prepared with protein shakes but I don't think I can drink much of it right now. I can only get down half a popsicle. You all make me feel much better to know things will get better. I keep thinking I'm going to be like this forever. And last night I was actually regretting my decision.

Thanks Wynnie, I called my Dr this morning and they just said that I really need to eat something and that if I wasn't holding it down to go back to the hospital. I am now holding fluids down and they are not refluxing like last night but I still feel kind of bad. I was given "Carafate" to drink 4 times a day before meals, not sure it's helping at all. Tums chewables are helping some, but I will ask about prilosec. Thanks!

This is my first time on here, so I hope I do this correctly. Today is day 4 of post op and I had a horrible night last night with severe heartburn and acid reflux (which I never had before). Today the reflux has stopped but the heart burn is REALLY bad...nothing seems to help it. A little bit of background, I was banded in 2011 and had it removed and converted to a sleeve 4 days ago. I have not been able to eat or drink much. Half a popsicle and a few spoons of malt o meal. I'm worried something is wrong, please advise if possible. Thanks!
