Hey guys I had my surgery on 3.7 and today I have a horrible sour stomach today. Not to be horribly gross I keep burping up this horrible tasting gas. I did have a Protein shake this morning made with 1% milk and I had a Greek yogurt for lunch.

Any ideas?

Probably excess acid. Beware of taking Calcium carbonate tablets though (Tums) as it and dehydration may lead to kidney stones.

Try another type of acid reducer. A Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) (Prilosec ) is going to be your best bet as it actually reduces the mount of acid rather than just neutralizes it.

spoke to the doctor's office and they told me the reason for the sour stomach is my stomach is holding on to something. Did not think that was possible on mushies....before surgery my stomach held everything and my thighs too...lol sorry had to throw in a giggle factor....thank you for the help will be picking up some ppi today after work...

It could also be lactose intolerance as well. I know it went beserk for me post op. Try using Lactaid instead for your dairies and see if that helps.

Our stomach get really super sensitive after surgery, and what worked before may not work now.

Good luck!!

Dr Aceves suggested to take a PPI (I take Nexium) for 6 months as the stomach makes acid as if your whole stomach was there and the PPI helps it heal.

I was lactose intolerant before surgery, so I still have that problem. Do you know if it is ok to take Lactaid only 2 weeks out? I have not asked Dr. Aceves yet, just wondered if you knew since you had problems also.

Thanks!!

You know, I never really needed to ask Dr, A about this because I didn't even realize I was lactose intolerant until I was well into my solids phase. I was released to eat anything so I just switched to the Lactaid Milk instead of regular milk. I do not take the pills, because its really milk I have the issue with. I have not had any issues with yogurts/cheeses/etc. I of course haven't even attempted ice cream, way too scared too!!!

Sorry I couldn't be more help... I'm sure they will answer your email quickly. I believe Gaby is the one to ask, she is the post op patient coordinator (not sure if you knew that). Let me know if you need her info...

Good luck!!!

Thanks Diva, I did get a response back from Gaby and she said Dr. A said it was ok to take the lactaid pills, so I will try that. I am going to start the lactaid milk, too.

Thanks again!smile.gif

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
