*4 Days Post-Op*

Hi! This is my first time posting to this board.  I had VSG on 12-20-13 and so far recovery has been going pretty well.  The only problem is getting in all my fluids/protein.  I am also having a sour taste in my mouth and my stomach feels so full.  I'm wondering if I may need a stronger PPI.  I currently take 20mg of Prilosec once day.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

Congrats on your surgery.  The fullness in your stomach is probably from the swelling, and the bad taste could be from ketosis.  Both are normal, as is struggling to get in enough fluids.  It will get easier as the swelling goes down.

Hi and welcome! I am 9 days out and still haven't made it to 64 oz of fluids. Talked to the dietician on Monday and she suggested Gas X in addition to the Prilosec, which helps marginally, maybe?  But I'm finally getting her dire warning bare minimum of 48 oz and made it to 61 g protein today. Hang in there, it'll get easier!
