Every damn morning!

Put a 2x4 under the box spring at the head of your bed. Cut it to width of your bed. Gravity will help keep fluids going down hill!

My doctor just recommended me something similar to that!

Hey guys! I messaged me doctor regarding this issue and this is what he replied...

Its reflux. I would try using two pillows to sleep or sleeping on your belly. As you lose weight and time goes by it should improve. If its not improving come see me.

You van uae phnergan for nausea as needed.

I love that my doctor has Facebook, lol. So I'm sleeping with 2 pillows tonight and I'm hoping to not wake up with neck pain. Has anyone ever used phenergan?

I do take a sip here and there while I eat, just habit I guess. I can't wait for this morning feeling to be over! I'm a teacher and right now I'm at the nurses office because I think I ate too fast. I feel like I'm never going to be normal again and I'm already 2 months op!

you will but we have a "new normal" now. Eating like we did presurgery is no more unless you want to undo everything you have done so far. I do know people that have done just that. learning how to deal with the new tummy is jus that, a learning experience. Small amounts and so very slow. That has been hard for me because I am a teacher too. You know as teachers, we are skilled with eating a whole meal in 8min between duty and before the bell rings lol so slowing down has been a challenge. one thing I have learned it to eat a small bit of something when I take those gosh aweful Vitamins. lol I didnt and thats the only two times I have been physically sick. Hang in there. it will get better. Elevate you upper body and that should help. Dont drink when you eat and dont eat late. good luck

I'm extremely grateful to wake up and see another day' date=' but I don't looking forward to the first 15 minutes of what has become my morning routine. Every morning I wake up gagging and throwing up a white foam. Most of the time it's multiple burps. I contacted my doctor and he told me to stop eating dinner late, I eat my dinner by 6 pm at the latest and its still happening. Can I please get some advice? Does this happen to everyone? How can I make this stop? And no I'm not pregnant [/quote']

I was having that problem and it had to do with the acid in my stomach! If your stomach doesnt have enough acid to its liking it will foam to the top like a volcano eruption like so I called the doctor and she said to drink some pickle juice and I can say I dnt have that problem anymore! So try that and goodluck hope u feel better!

Great I hope it works for you like it did for me!

I just drank my pickle juice! Hopefully I wake up better. Is there a specific pickle juice you drank? How much did you drink?

My RNY was 11.13.17..... I've been coughing, gagging & vomiting this White Foam that everyone is talking about here. I didn't sleep at all last night & gagged all the way (20 miles) to our Dentist this AM for our cleanings, which I didn't think would be possible! Thank goodness my hygienist let me control the suction machine.......wish I had one of these at home!!!! Again....all the way home, I was gagging & continuing all this. I don't know how much more I can handle.

Thanks to everyone who posted what helped them..... I will be surely trying each/all of them!

Happy New Year to all!!!!! ................. Deeme in WI

I bought my hubby a GERD pillow on Amazon. Its just a wedge that keeps you elevated and you put your own pillow right on top. He hasn't had anymore gagging since sleeping elevated.
