I'm extremely grateful to wake up and see another day, but I don't looking forward to the first 15 minutes of what has become my morning routine. Every morning I wake up gagging and throwing up a white foam. Most of the time it's multiple burps. I contacted my doctor and he told me to stop eating dinner late, I eat my dinner by 6 pm at the latest and its still happening. Can I please get some advice? Does this happen to everyone? How can I make this stop? And no I'm not pregnant :)

As vogue said, prilosec or something of that nature. Most people take that little purple pill in the morning , but I was waking up icky and the dr told me to take mine at night. It has helped.

I have never heard of those pills before, what are they?

ppi stands for proton pump inhibitor these are medications used to reduce stomach acid normally taken for acid reflux. the common examples are Prilosec and nexium. the Prilosec is available over the counter and there is a generic available at Walmart fairly cheaply. the generic name for Prilosec is Omperazole DR. This would most likely help with your problem because it is most likely caused by an excess of acid in your stomach. The body usually tries to digest more food while you are sleeping so it makes more stomach acid at that time. Good Luck.

I've been taking a pill fairly regularly since my surgery 3 weeks ago. (I suck at taking pills everyday). I don't crush it. I didn't really think it was doing anything. BUT I didn't take it for two days and I woke up this morning gagging with a terrible taste in my mouth (like bile). So it helps!

Thanks! I just crushed the pill and put it inside a little cup with crystal light. Lord I hope I dont wake up with that horrible sensation. I dread waking up :/ my neighbor even asked if everything was ok because he's overheard me gagging lol

So I crushed the pill last night and drank it with a little bit of crystal light. I woke up ten times better this morning! I went from a 15 minute gagging spree to a 5 minute one this morning. I noticed that when I drank the crushed pill, there was a lot leftover after all the liquid was gone. So tonight I'm going to try to continue mixing the drink as I drink it. I can't wait until these morning gagging sessions are gone for good!

I would wake up puking and gagging also if my last meal was at 6pm. My blood sugar would get low and I would have tons of dizzy spells. Depending on how recently you had surgery, you may need a PPI. I took Nexium for the first month and a half after surgery. I used to wake up nauseous a lot but thankfully I don't anymore.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
