Reflux but no PB'ing or vomiting! Confused!



Recommended Posts

Hiya, I made a thread a couple of weeks ago about how I've recently started having reflux during the night and/or first thing in the morning (it's like I forget to swallow or something and then all of a sudden I get woken with an acidy vomit taste in my throat). I only had it a couple of nights in a row and decided it must've been due to eating food to close to bed time as it dissapeared for a good week or so.

However, it happened again last night. I don't PB often...probably about once a month...if that, and only if I've eaten too fast, and usually its on something that I know doesn't go down (steak or bread) well at the best of times. I don't vomit and apart from this reflux happening, I feel as though I am at a good point with my band as I still get full on smaller amounts but am able to eat what I need to. If anything I would think that perhaps I need a little more in as I'm still hungry pretty much all the time, its just that I get full faster and off smaller amounts (which to me was the main purpose of the band - so I'm happy with that).

So my question is....does anyone have problems with reflux and yet they KNOW its not due to their band? Do you take anything to help with it??

NB: I recently had an abdominal ultrasound done and the tech asked me if I've been having reflux to which I answered yes - however I haven't heard anything back from my doc so I'm assuming it's not band related.

Any ideas???Suggestions??? THANKS in advance!! :thumbup:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
