Honeybunz I agree with you. With my sleeve I'm battling with appropriate portions. Idk what's too much or too little. I seem to have acid indegestion and I was told that is from eating too much.

Do you measure & weigh your food? That helps me a lot. GL!

Acid is not from eating too much. Many sleevers have issue with it. For most it's just a temporary stage. Your body is still produce the same amount of digestive acid it did pre- surgery. However you have significantly less space so it cause reflux . Many doctors prescribe a ppi such as omeprazole for their patients to combat this. My doc had me taking 20 mgs from day 1 post op. I didn't have any issues with acid until 3 mths in. Then I needed it. From mtg 3-6 I had to take 40mgs a day . Then my body regulated it's self and now I no longer need it.

Yes they do (that is what I was told by the bariatric surgery nurse and nutritionist).

Try to shoot for at least 64 oz of liquids a day and more if you are doing strenuous activities.

When my acid flares up so bad a sour taste in my throat and I get headaches ???? omeprazole not helping

What dosage are you taking? Do you take it daily? If so at what time? Omeprazole isn't like tums. You have to take it consistently for it to be effective. When I needed it, u took it late afternoon/early evening around 2pm. If not by 4-5pm I would get that uncomfortably full/burning feeling. Others find it helpful to take first thing in the morning or at night before bed. However it needs a good week of taking it to be effective.

Yeah, his opinion is that high Protein is what's killing America. He wants us to eat plenty of Beans, whole grain oats, nuts, fruits & veggies. I have incorporated more of what he wants into my diet but I do love my Greek yogurt, meat & cheese (which he highly frowns upon). I just do my best and do what works for me.

I eat that way naturally. I'm a vegetarian

      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.
