    Monday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Reflux?
on April 17, 2008 4:11 pm

This is the third day of pbing/sliming. I am not pbing with everything I eat, I do notice that I'm making more slime but even that is not coming out with every meal.  All I know is that I PB/Slime everyday now and my throat and back of my mouth feels like it has "raw hot spots" on it. It is irritating, even when the toothpaste swirls around in the back of my mouth in the morning/night. The times it hits is mostly in the later afternoon and at night...although I do not wake up spitting up.

I'm on liquids, yogurt, soups and even then after a few swigs of protein shake or spoons of yogurt, I immediately start burping, gurgling and then I get up, open my mouth and out comes whatever I just had.  It's even happened with room temp water!  I've heard about the two week delayed kick in for some fills, even about the TOM tightness and wouldn't you know it's been officially 2 weeks and THAT TOM too.

I just called my surgeon's office and his nurse said to take one crushed Prilosec once a day, liquid Advil for a few days to relieve the inflammation and stay on liquids for at least two days.  Call back if things don't improve or get worse.  So I'll just hit the drugstore and take it easy.

On a brighter note, I just purchased a BodyBugg and discovered Mint flavored liquid Maalox tastes good!
