Heartburn on prepping diet?

I haven’t had surgery yet, but if you are trying a lot of new foods or changing your diet your stomach might take a few days to adjust. I know for me, even when I would go on a diet and start eating less I would get heartburn easily. A dietician told me once that my body is used to producing acid for a larger amount of food and it needs time to adjust. If you aren’t used to the protein shakes (whey or soy) it may also cause a little tummy upset. Congratulations on getting started with the pre-op diet. When is your surgery?

my surgery is tomorrow! And even though I'm having the sleeve, it isn't just for obesity but to help with risk of stroke and diabetes and pcos and all that jazz.
When I started the diet I had more liquidy burps (sorry that's gross) but not heartburn. I think our stomach just gets all out of whack. Good luck on your diet! The first 4-5 days are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hard, but once you get past that, you're on a roll.

I do not have a surgery date yet. I see my surgeon for the first time tomorrow. I am very excited. I have already seen the nutritionist. Tomorrow they will schedule my EGD, one more nutritionist appointment. Psych eval got pushed to 6/7
