Before worying about what you eat, I'd be calling my dr to find out what's going on. Last year I sufferred from severe reflux at night and heartburn during the day. I ignored it for months, popping pills and sleeping propped up on 3 pillows. I finally went to my dr (I was so afraid he would unfill me) and found out my band had slipped. He did unfill me. Just for 4 weeks. Then slowly filled me back up. While I still have the minor slip, I no longer have the symptoms I had.

Heartburn is not a healthy sign. If it's transient, and a Tums works,I wouldn't worry about it too much, but constant heatburn, or nightime reflux,I would definitely see my dr.

Btw, I now take RX Prilosec, OTC Zantac, and Tums as needed. I really don't need many Tums anymore.

Good luck!

Oh, and stay away from red wine, chocolate, fried foods, and pineapple (all makes heatburn worse)

This should not be a thing you should feel you need to live with! Go to see your surgeon, chronic heartburn is a symptom of something else! Not treating heartburn can lead to many serious conditions so you should not pass it off as just annoying! My dad died a year ago from esophageal cancer. The doctor said it was a result of having chronic heartburn that wasn't treated for many years! See your doctor!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
