I haven't had the obligatory poo post yet, so here goes:

Sleeved 3/25/13, I've been compliant with surgeon instructions regarding food. So far I have had NO issues with my sleeve and new foods - love it! However, this week and part of last, I've started having some issues with my guts. My stomach feels like it's burning in the evenings, i have mild intermittent nausea, my intestines make lots of loud noises, and I am having frequent bouts of liqui-poo and gas. Truly, my butt is peeing about 4 times in the evenings. It's not getting better and I'm wondering what I'm missing. I'm not getting dehydrated and I'm not throwing up, not running a fever, etc. so it hasn't even occurred to me to call the doctors office this week and ask...I just figured my body is still adjusting from surgery. But tonight my stomach really felt like it was burning so i took a 2nd Protonix, drank a little bit of Metamucil (that helped settle things, burning lessened). Is there something sinister going on? Not really having pain but now I'm getting a little paranoid about leaks, ulcers, and gallbladders and such...of course right before a long, beautiful weekend. Other info, if it helps:

I am taking a prescription acid reducer (Protonix) every morning. Drinking Vitamin Water Zero instead of water, as it just seems to go down easier (although it burned last night and tonight), also lots of chamomile tea, mint tea, etc. I have never had a problem with dairy and eat cottage cheese, cheese sticks, etc. with no issue. Last night i drank some buttermilk to help with the queasy burning feeling and it did help. Taking my bariatric multi vitamin with food early in the day, no probs with that or Calcium supplement that I can tell. I haven't changed my diet (Protein shakes, cheese, tofu, amaranth, fish, eggs, chicken, etc. all chewed well). At this point I'll happily cut out the dairy, but i am only having this problem in the evenings, and I have dairy early in the day. Is Vitamin Water Zero acidic or hard on sleeves? Thoughts & suggestions please? I'm getting a little nervous about this.

I like that idea, also dropping the protein shakes. I'm not very comfortable dropping the PPI, though (protonix), as I've been on it for years with no issues, and I'm worried it would get worse if I stopped taking it now. This isn't reflux I don't think, i just don't know how else to describe the discomfort. I would like to come off it closer to goal weight, though! The burning sensation is less today, but the bowels are still revolting. I did finally take Immodium, and that has helped. Today I've had 2 protein shakes - Bariatric Advantage and also one from Muscle Pharm. Turkey, banana, 1/3 of a Clif Bar, and more turkey. I'll leave off the shakes tomorrow and see how it goes. Thanks again for all the feedback!
