I’m sure it has to do with the foods I eat but I was fine a few weeks ago I’m about 6-7 month out and everything that I ate gives me an annoying pain like acid reflux and inability to eat so I have been trying the Protein Shakes and a super bland diet. Even sometimes with that I don’t want to eat because I feel uncomfortable and that pain. What do you guys use for remedies at home or the kind of diet do you guys use to get by this phase if it is a phase.

I second GreenTealael's advice. Whenever you get sudden, unexplained pain you probably should be checking with your medical team.

Just a thought: When I went through lap band surgery, at about the 4-month mark I started having episodes of pain every time I ate. It didn't really matter much what I ate. I constantly had a sort of "sick" or acidic taste in my mouth. Long story short, they finally figured out that it was my gallbladder. I guess that because my pain was not in the typical location, they kept blowing me off and trying to blame it on something I did/something I ate.

Either way, definitely contact your doctor and a side bit of advice, BE PERSISTENT.

My usual home remedy is a phone... To call my Surgeon 😂

I did on Friday he said Protein Shakes and some acid reflux medicine. He said if it continues through the week then he will send me to the hospital to get some lab work and stuff done. I do have to be persistent but I’m also scared of like hospitals at the moment but if it has to get done it has to get done! 👍🏻

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
