I am four days post op and according to my Doctors instruction I should be eating creamy Soups with no chunks. The problem I am having is I am experiencing an acid reflux kind of symptom. I can feel almost every bite I eat as it goes down then it seems like it kinda rolls around and then I feel bubbles come back up my throat. What is causing this. I have no fill in my band so could this be due to the swelling in my stomach or what.

It might just be your stomach not feeling up to it yet.. did it do this with your Protein Shakes? ... in the beginning when i switched back to food.. i took a zantac just to be on the safe side due to a co workers story ( i prolly didnt need it).. i would call your doctor tho and see what they say.. and congrats !!

It is likely just swelling or possible you need to take much smaller sips of Soup. Or possibly both.

Also, I know you haven't had a fill yet but some doctors put Fluid in the band during surgery. You might want to ask yours if he did, just to be sure.

I'm also 4 days post op & have been having similar symptoms. I felt so much pressure & feeling of fullness that didnt let me get in any fluids. Finally took Gas X Strips today after I was told not to at the hospital & the relief was amazing! Called my dr to give me the ok to take the strips. Feeling sooooo much better now.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
