I am 4 months post op today. I have been exercising, but this week I started water aerobics plus regular gym workouts. I cnat seem to get a full 64 oz of water. I also try to drink 2-3 8oz. protein shakes made with unjury protein and almond milk a day . DO I count those my protein shakes made with almond milk as fluid also. Since i exercised more I cant hold as much in the stomach no matter what it is. please give me some advice.

Good afternoon Carol and you were absolutely right about the acid reflux causing my issue and the saddest part about it is when I drink water it mainly happens.

Acid reflux really sucks. They have done changed my meds one time and sometimes it seems like it isnt strong enough. I feel for you. It is like the more fluids I get in the more it wants to act up today being one of those days

Yes Carol it does! I can bare the pain from the incision sites, I can deal with the nausea, I can deal with not being able to eat but the acid reflux I can't! It's the most uncomfortable feeling I've ever experienced and it's at it's worse when I drink water.I went to the pharmacy and the pharmacist told me to take the Pantoprazole in the morning a half hour before breakfast and use Tums through out the day as needed.

I take prevacid prescription strength daily at least 30 min before I eat. I still have days it acts up. Not bad. Then other days I cant hardly eat. Dr told me if it was acting up I may want to eat more.
