I have the unflavored unjury protein powder and I've been mixing it in everything to get the protein in; chicken broth, soups, tea, even my water with sugar free crystal light, sugar free hot chocolate. I hope it gets better for you!

I was taking Zofran around the click for the first week. Then the nausea started to ease up enough that I could take it "as needed." It saved me most if the time, but throughout the first month, I would get sick periodically. It usually was around times I took my multivitamin (Bariatric Advantage), but it also related some to foods. Your tummy is healing, sensitive, and everything about it is pretty new. It's still figuring its new self out. It does get better, though! Hang in there!

NO! Don't keep taking the milk of magnesia to coat your stomach unless you need to poop! Get some mylanta  or something to coat your stomach. Are you taking any Prilosec or anything? If your stomach is still irritated you might need a different PPI or to take it more often .

Try walking, it will help you digest everything. When I was at the hospital and when I came home I would try to walk 15 mins every hour or every 2 hours. I would set a timer on my stove or phone and just walk walk walk  around my kitchen/dining/living room. Even now I sometime wake up at night  from being too full and I walk  for  15mins and then I am able to go back to sleep.  For your fluids sip sip walk walk it really makes a difference,

 

Good luck -Deb

I recommend gas x strips and miralax. Milk of magnesia is serious stuff and you should really only use that if it has been a while since you have gone. Miralax you can take daily, milk of magnesia you can not.

Best of luck, it gets better...PROMISE! I am proof...well me and all the other happy VSG'er's on here =)

Stick with warm tea. That and Unjury chicken soup is what I had all the time. I still drink them!
