So yesterday I ate 3 bites of my lunch and spent most of the time from 1:30-10:30 in the bathroom puking. I know the food I ate was way too spicy, I bought spicy ground turkey by accident. Today I ate plain canned chicken with mayo and again I feel so bloated and sick. The only difference in my diet is now I'm not on the Prilosec. I got the chewable Pepsid but it's not helping at all. I really hope I don't spend another day sick. I'm 5 weeks out today. Shouldn't my pouch be ready to be off the Prilosec?? I called the surgeons office and they are supposed to be sending out a refill to my pharmacy. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Other than yesterday, which was a fluke, nothing has changed in my diet. I've been fine on most foods, now I feel like everything I eat makes me gassy and nauseous.

Went through this. I ate artichoke hearts and dear Lord I was praying on the toilet. Veggies cause gas unfortunately and its bad can kill a country gas LOL not kidding ask my kids. When I did this I'd stop go back to a brat diet and move back up. I found out I was sensitive to high Protein. I'd get dumping if my protein was higher than 10g. Did any of it contain milk/cheese? Reason I ask is bc I became severe lactose intolerant and Lord have mercy if a cow even looked at me I'd throw up. . .try going back to soft/liquid diet til ur tummy settles. I'm five yrs out and still on nexium. Hang n hon. ((*hugs*))

I'm only 2 1/2 weeks post op and have been on Prilosec then nexium for 10 years plus. My surgeon told me my acid reflux would go away as soon as surgery was done and he was right!! I haven't had any meds since surgery for the acid reflux.... Although I had gastroperesis as well and apparently that was a big factor in having such bad acid reflux, and having the surgery. Good luck and hopefully it will go away soon!

It's not really acid reflux, I guess the pouch is still just too sensitive. It's pressure and pain and nausea. I'd rather have the avid reflux :(

Just went and bought a bunch of Soups to live off of for a week or so, to give more time for my tummy to heal.

I had the same thing last week and I also 5 weeks out. My doc put me on maloox liquid twice a day. It works really well and I am doing great. I also take a protonix. It's not reflux but the pouch is inflamed and the maloox calms it down.

Several people on my other message board swear by papaya enzyme for a temperamental tummy.

May surgeon puts you on Prilosec for the first 12 months post surgery. To help control the acid in your pouch and remnant stomach. Not so much for heartburn but to keep the levels low too prevent ulcers. I didn't have issues with heartburn before, but I take it everyday. It is a 4 dollar prescription. Just a thought that maybe you should be taking it anyways.

      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.

        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!
