Re: heartburn

Try 1/8 teaspoon baking soda in a glass of Water. If you can taste it, use less. Baking soda works great for relieving heart burn/ acid reflux issues! I use the aluminum free baking soda.

If you can get your food intake along a more alkaline diet you may experience less heartburn.

Also, tuna is good in small quantities, not completely off limits.

I am 19 mos PO GS and just found out I'm pregnant this wknd! This was planned, as my surgeon suggests waiting 18 mos before trying to get pregnant.

I've been starting my day with a tonic of fresh grated (frozen) ginger steeped in 1 cup of hot Water. Add in the juice of one lemon and 1-2 spoonfuls of local unfiltered honey. Started alkalizing my diet in preparation for conception. Hoping for a healthy pregnancy since I lost so much weight before hand!

I'm 9.5 mos out from surgery and am 9 wks pregnant. I see a prenatal dietician that works closely with my obgyn and my primary dr and also my surgeon is doing follow ups also. I was worried about not in taking enough but she assured me baby will get what it needs just have to have labs more often and keep myself healthy. They did increase my calories from 750 per day to 1000 cals a day. She told me to do my best and I will have a healthy pregnancy.

Thank you so much! I feel better now. I had my first prenatal appt today which went well. I meet with my bariatric surgeon and the dietician next week so my nutritional intake and absorbs toon levels can be monitored.

I'm so thankful to read other post about pregnancy... I'm 6 mos. Post op and 15 weeks preggo. I have lost 15 lbs since finding out I was pregnant. I was very concerned with getting enough nutrition for the baby, but my appetite has increased a lot in the past few weeks. Everything is looking good and baby is healthy. Please continue to share your experiences, I love hearing about them. Congrats to you on your pregnancy.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
