Ok so lately... As in the last couple of weeks... I've been waking up about 45 minutes after dozing off to sleep and throwing up. I've even started keeping a trash can bedside because it happens so fast. It's not food... I'm almost wondering if I'm frothing from a later dinner than normal and laying down is causing the reaction. This morning my sweet hubs brought me Breakfast in bed and I dozed back off after eating only to have it happen yet again. Now killer acid reflux. None of the foods are the same. Thought it was possible the Vitamin I took close to bedtime until it happened again today. Any thoughts?

I would recommend you not eat and lie down so soon. If you have dinner at 6 pm and go to bed at 10 pm, maybe the food has time to digest a little. Are you taking the Prilosec also? I am 6 months post sleeve and it was recommended I stay on the Omeprazole. Taking the Vitamins at bedtime might also be bad. I would take everything earlier. Good luck!

Try using a foam wedge under you in the bed to slightly raise your head. ;)

It's acid reflux. I've woken up choking on it before and could easily see how someone would/could throw up. Try Prilosec and see if that works.

I've seen posts on this before and they all indicated this happens when they eat too close to bedtime.

I went through that and put off going back to doc until I got awakened in my sleep (again) but this time aspirated. 3 days later I had pneumonia. I then realized what was going on and got in to see the doc ASAP. I ended up having a "reservoir" develop which was storing some of the food and now I'm going to get another band (not a new port) this week. Don't mess with middle of the night acid reflux.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
