How do you manage stomach acid and heartburn?

I have a huge problem with this post op, I am already at the maximum suggested dose of an acid reducer. It works ok, but I have so much acid in me! It hard to eat solids, because this thick white foamy nasty acid goo is taking up all the room in my stomach. I throw up this crap all the time (which makes me feel instantly better). Have other sleevers experienced this? And how do you minimize it?

The foaming isn't from acid, it's likely from eating too fast.

I was on 40mg omeprazole for 2 months post op. Cut down the the 20mg over-the-counter dose after that, but recently went back up to 40mg (two 20mg doses a day) now.

My doctor mandates six months of prilosec. When I forget to take it, trust me, I know about it. I'd recommend something like that combined with hot liquids to push the goo through.
