Hi, I was sleeved 12/1/14 and never really experienced acid reflux until after my surgery. Since I've been on solids, had to deal with an acidic stomach especially at night. Right now the only thing I'm doing to ease the feeling is Special K crackers or club crackers. Oh and too much Calcium has already given me a kidney stone, so taking a lot of o-t-c acid reducers isn't a good idea because of the calcium. Any suggestions as too what I can do to help with the acid. Don't want to mess with my weight loss either. Thank you

Sorry, just saw this. I was on soft at the time. Since then I am working out 5-6 times a week. Left the scale alone as everyone suggested, seeing the changes in my clothes. At 6 almost 7 weeks I'm still doing protein shakes. Thank you for your guidance.

Thank you all for responding. SuperDave I took your advice and picked up the baby spoon and fork. This process is scary yet exciting. Glad to know what's happening is normal.

Hi all, I am new to BariatricPal. Was hoping for suggestions or at least answers. December 1st I was sleeved. Since September I have lost 29 lbs and 20 inches, since surgery I have lost 13 lbs and 9 inches. I had hoped this week of Christmas I would have dropped the last 3 lbs and been in the 1's - opposite occurred I gained 5 lbs. Also, I can only eat 3 or 4 bites and I feel full, to the point where I spend about 30 minutes getting rid of the gas before I can try again. I'm on Prilosec twice a day, gas-x, and pepcid. I have yet to get my 60 grams of Protein and 64 oz of Water. My body just can't handle it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
