I'm a year out and I have reflux daily. I take rantidine (Zantac) twice daily. I find it's related to my food intake. If I eat fatty food or dairy, it's worse.

It gets better. Hang in there.
There's so many food options for adults. Try a ricotta bake with lots of garlic and seasoning.
I had my surgery last July with Dr Jones. He's great. I've had an easy recovery. How did your surgery go?
Have you tried Carnation Instant Breakfast as an alternative? It's not as high in protein as a protein shake but the protein shakes made me gag, too. There is sugar-free and regular. I think it was...
Sorry to hear that your having a tough time. Hope you get better soon!
Some docs are different but mine requires whey protein.
Been there, done that.
Walk walk walk. Best thing for gas. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
I had a drain but it was removed by the resident before I left the hospital. It hurt like hell but the pain was temporary. I started feeling much bigger after it was removed.
I was told at 2 months to stop all shakes and to eat regular food for protein. I eat chicken, chilli, homemade meatballs, and cheese. I also love oatmeal.
I'm almost 7 months out and my eating changed drastically after surgery. I don't like the same things as before. Especially at 2 months out I was eating the same few things day after day. Even now I...
You're doing great! It's only been a week. You need to give yourself time to heal. Soon you'll feel better and you'll be doing dozens of laps around Wal-Mart.
I think it depends on where you live. I live in Massachusetts and I have Harvard Pilgrim HMO. I had a $250 hospital payment and $35 copayments for the doctor visits. I did not have an administrative...
I was allowed to eat one small low-carb meal on my preop diet. And I also got lightheaded. I think you'll be just fine. Just take it easy. When you think about it, you're doing your ususal routine...
The only ones that know aremy husband and best friend. I just told a few other people that I had a hernia repair. I did tell people about 6 weeks befoee surgery that I was seeing a nutritionist...
I sometimes find myself eating lots of cashews and pistachios. I've begun limiting myself to one ounce per snack. I figure it's better than chips and cookies. Just take some of the bag and leave...
Yes, my muscle pain became worse around 3 weeks. Take pain mwds, they help a bunch. Feel better!!!
That's the worst. My father had that and it was just awful. Hope you feel better soon.
If you really must have take-out, find a salad place or a place with healthy food. In the soft food stage you can also have cheese sticks and lean shaved deli meats. I lived on deli meats.
And...
I was told never again. My surgeon said it's because NSAIDS cause stomach ulcers and other problems and problems and since your stomach is so small, you don't want to hurt what you've got.
I have a problem with meatballs post-surgery. I never did before. I can eat ground beef in chili and taco meat but not in spaghetti sauce. You can try again in a few months and see if they agree with...
I had no problem with spices. Super hot ones give me some heartburn but that was happening before surgery anyway.
Nope. Not here. Maybe he just wants it as a reference for his report?
At 1 month I was still taking naps daily and not eating much. I was off work for the summer still and I probably stayed feeling more awake at 6 weeks.
