Any pre oppers had heartburn???

[LancsLass2]

Hi all, I`m on day 3 of my pre op milk diet and have been suffering each day with heartburn. Not constantly, but a few times a day that lasts for about half an hour. I`ve stuck to the diet by the letter so no food that usually causes this has passed my lips. ( In fact usually when I do get it, milk helps!!! ) Just wondering if anyone else has been the same??

Hiya.

Soz cant help I havent had it, only time ever was when I was pregnant.

How you doing apart from that? I feel really tired today, actually im still in my pj's!!! Got work 10 till 8 tomorrow so wont have time to feel tired. Do feel like everything is an effort at the mo and no energy!!! Oh well only 4 days left.

It might be because your eating less and your stomach is producing too much acid, the milk should cool it down though....sorry cant be of any more help xx

Hi There
Always had really bad heartburn/reflux and always kept on eating food that made it worse. It was still quite bad on my pre-op diet but I found if I rationed the milk out through the day it kept my stomach calm and my hunger at bay. I used the small plastic cups from the water cooler -found that they held just enough to stop the heartburn and stop my tummy rumbling-

Hi Dee, I don`t get it all the time usually just if I`ve had a curry lol. I got it bad when I was pregnant with my girl but not at all with my boy - funny eh!! I don`t feel too bad, had a bit of a headache last night which my advisor warned me about but other than the heartburn I`m ok. At least u won`t b able to think about being tired when your at work. Just think it`ll all be worth it in the end. I`ve got 5 days left cos I don`t go in till Tues:sigh:

Thanks for the advice loll. I don`t really get it too much usually ( unless I`ve had a curry ) When I do get it milk usually sorts it out but here I am virtually only having milk and suffering with it. Never mind only 5 days left and then it`ll b worth it.
