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.

Thanks everyone. And Congrats MariMari15. Hoping for a speedy recovery for you.
