  1. Hi,  I am having horrible gastric reflux usually a couple of hours after I go to bed. I stop eating at 6:30 and it is horrible. I have elevated my bed and am at a loss. My throat is so raw.. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I will be  weeks out as of February 15.  Thanks for any suggestions.

      as someone who struggled with reflux my whole life let me tell you about this awesome invention. its called a wedge pillow. https://www.contourliving.com/king-size-flip-pillow/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=PLA&utm_campaign=flippillow&gclid=Cj0KCQiAkfriBRD1ARIsAASKsQLik8hdhlGeXa-T49WLZFvKbrZ9h7l4uGA1MLdneOBml1aQnB5NpiEaAiIJEALw_wcB. saved my life. i had the bypass on the 31st, no reflux since then. If you got the sleeve i was told it could make it worse so i had to go with the bypass. stay away from soda, chocolate, spicy, alcohol, citrus. i went to bed at 10, last meal was at 5.

  2. I am now 2 weeks post op. I am on the liquid diet and am finding myself dying for another flavor other than sweet. The broths are making me feel sick.  Any suggestions would be great.  My surgery was on the 15th and now it the 25th.  I have lost 23 lbs and feel I am on a plateau.  Next week I get to start blended food.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  If you have suggestions please let me know.  Also does spicy food irritate the stomach or cause dumping?

      I had a lot of scrambled eggs and cottage cheese on the puree staged. Soups are good to have as long as you puree them. I also did wendy's chili.

      If you're on full liquids, you can have other blended soups like butternut squash, carrot-ginger, or tomato/basil. Stir in some unflavored protein powder and you're good to go. Pacific makes several good smooth-textured soups.
