I am a month out after from my surgery and I have HORRIBLE acid indigestion. Any one else have this problem? What did you do for it? I am taking Prilesec twice daily for it but they dont always help.

I was told by my surgeon i did not have to lose any weight before surgery, but I thought I lose a little before surgery though. I have a seizure disorder which is why I chose vertical sleeve vs rou-y-en surgery. So for two weeks now, I have been eating lots more Proteins (mostly all proteins). I only eat one piece of bread for Breakfast with light butter. I have cut all sweets and chocolate except for 4 tootsie rolls a day and sometimes I dont even eat those. Yesterday, I got really dizzy and nauseated after breakfast so I went to bed at 10am and did not get up till 6pm. I still felt crudy. I thought it was because I did not eat much for breakfast- a Smart Ones oatmeat and a buttered piece of toast and a glass of Water afterwards. So I fixed 3 eggs, 3 links of turkey sausage and another smart ones oatmeal. After about 15 minutes after I ate I started to feel dizzy, nauseated, and started to feel like I was going to have a seizure. I also started sweating profusely. I took my bedtime meds at 8pm and got up at 8 this morning. I felt great unil I ate. 3 eggs, 2 strips turkey bacon and part of a Protein Shake. During eating I started to get nauseated, dizzy, and to feel just crudy. Right before church, I started to sweat profusely for about 5 minutes. When I got home I took a promethazime to stop the nausea. Which it hasn't a whole lot, but I can actually sit up now. I think I'm eating much Protein and I has caught up to me the past two days. I'm concerned about surgery now. Anyone have these problems? Do you think it will be any different after surgery? Any thoughts?
