Toofat88 did your doctor instruct you to take Prevacid, Prilosec, etc post procedure? Mine instructed me to take 2 prilosecs a day for 6 months to keep acid production at a minimum. Maybe call your doctors office to see if this is a protocol you should be on as well. Good luck

Thanks, I'm taking Pantoprazole. I'm not sure if that's the same. I'm in Aus so it may be a different name. Thank you for the advice I will be off to the chemist (pharmacy) in the morning.

Are you taking a liquid or pill? I'm almost 2 weeks out and bummed about the acid reflux as well. Especially since he fixed a hiatal hernia I was hoping the GERD would finally go away.

I am having a pill, that does nothing, and liquid that I can't keep down. Im sorry to say this but I'm relieved I'm not the only one going through this. It's awful. But I should keep focused on my goal of getting healthy, fit and active!

Same date as mine! Welcome! No issues for me either. Just learning how to eat 2oz puréed food slowly, getting in as much Water as I can, and trying to drink at least 1 Protein Shake each day. Not meeting full capacity of any of the 3 but doing my best!

Hello fellow June people. I had my RNY on June 24 and was in the hospital for 3 days,had to stay an extra day for low urine output. Since I have been home I have had ups and downs. Somehow in the hospital I gained 22 pounds. I know it is likely Fluid but it was quite a shock when I got on the scale. Other than some loose stool and gas pains I feel great. I am so glad to have found this thread so I can compare my story with others. Tonight I went to a major league baseball game and although I had my concerns about going we had a great time and I feel pretty good. I tried to submit a request to the Facebook page but the link would not work for me. Can someone help me with that,I would love to be involved? Thanks everyone reading your posts has helped a lot.

I was banded yesterday! Came home last night. I'm pretty sore, but feeling ok. Every now and then I get a little hungry, but it goes away. I'm just trying to keep up with my fluids and sip out of the medicine cups every half hour. When I left the hospital, they said I'm doing great. So hopefully I'll be fine in a few days.

Hi Erica. I had surgery June 11th, no issues and I am doing pretty well on all solid food too. Mainly eating eggs, tuna, canned chicken etc. Did have a hamburger patty the other night. Well a 1/4 of one. I ate it for 3 meals. I have tried to find the Facebook page doing a search and can't find it. Has it been deleted? I am down 26 lbs total including pre-op diet!! Best thing I have done for myself!! Good Luck to everyone!

I start purée tomorrow. I've been on Protein Shakes, yogurt, pudding and cream of wheat mostly. I CAN NOT wait to add fruit, tuna, cottage cheese and a few other things. It's bee really hot/humid where I live so I've been trying to drink more often but it's hard. Was definitely dehydrated yesterday.

      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!!
