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

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
