My PCP's nurse gave me a sample of this powdered Calcium +D called UpCal. She orders it from Amazon.

Calcium citrate +D is taken twice a day two hours a part. The liquid multivitamin I take my B12 with my Biotin. My doctor said to take the multivitamin in the morning. Also drink your Protein Shakes and stay hydrated. Walk walk walk.I have to tell myself lol

Heartburn EVERYTIME I eat!!! Anyone else? It does go away eventually. So tired of it. Any advise?

Prilosec is my friend. Talk to your doc. Heartburn is extremely common with the sleeve.

I don't have that problem yet. Are you eating acidic food or sauce. I think it's best to ask your doctor. I pray you find what it takes to relieve your discomfort. :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
