Not doing good with foods!

[Nikki Dawm 3]

Yes I take one daily. It is Protonics (not sure how to spell it).

Sometimes certain PPI will work for one person and won't for the next. Which one did they give you and what size is it?

I suffer from GERD if I don't take mine - and I had the constant lump sensation. I'm on 20mg twice a day of Omeprazole. I've also cut out a load of things that aggravate it - citrus, etc.

[allyrenee222 25]

I'm on 40 mg omeprazole once a day

[Madam Reverie 2,958]

Are you taking it in the morning? If so, what time does the lump sensation come on?

[Nikki Dawm 3]

40mg Protonix 1 time daily. It's prescribed. I had a hernia repair as well.

[allyrenee222 25]

I take mine every morning and I'm fine after my Protein Shake but I eat pureed food around 1 and it starts after that.

[Nikki Dawm 3]

I used to take mine first thing in the morning and changed it to 5on because it used to be worse at night. Now it starts about 30min after I wake up and it lasts all day.

The lump feeling is probably eating to fast or not chewing well enough. Hope this helps

Hi, I was just sleeved 5 days ago. I am just wondering what the feeling is that you feel? How do you know it doesn't agree? Is it a pain you feel, vomiting, or dizzy? I have tried soft foods (like Apple sauce and yogurt) and I get this pain in my stomach, but it's the same pain when I drink Water. I'm just trying to figure out if It's my body trying to process or if I actually need to stay clear. What can you eat that doesn't make you sick?

Try eating less. Maybe a tablespoon is all your body can handle right now.

I have the lump feeling and food does not sound good. I'm never nauseous but I have had the feeling that I may gag if I yet to eat. I wondered about the lump feeling. It's not a feeling of something stuck in my throat but like sitting down my esophagus

I talked to a doctor and he said that the lump feeling could be from inflammation in the mucosa. He recommended that I go back to full liquids and take maalox.

I think I am going to have to go check into the baby food. I am not doing well on the stage two...can't drink anymore broth or creamed Soups. I made some Beans and I'm thinking I will mush those up to eat. I tasted one bean and it was the best taste ever! Haha. I was eating gogurts and they really agreed with my stomach until I saw they have 9 grams of sugar, so I cut those out. Even my applesauce (with no added sugar) is 15 grams of sugar. I wasn't too upset about the Apple sauce because it wasn't agreeing with my stomach. Hope I can find something in the baby food isle. Even if It's just fruit uhg.

Check with ur dr on baby food. Mine said do not eat it. I didn't question him because I have a 3 year old and I have tried it. Lol

Thanks everyone. I think it was the G2 I was drinking. I quit drinking it last night and so far so good this morning. I took mylanta last night and so far feel better today. Just doing liquids and yogurt for a couple days till I see my Doc.

Believe me any less and I would be eating air. I have found that some of the foods I loved and could tolerate before DO NOT agree with my body. I have to stick with Water and lowfat, no fruit yogurts for now. The sugar content in most of those Greek yogurts are ridiculous. I haven't touched those. My sugar intake should be less than 10g. I ate a small amount of butternut squash Soup and I can already feel that's not gonna work for me either. By the time I'm done with this pre-op diet I will be on a whole different diet. Not complaining, actually excited to see where this will go. I will find a whole knew way of eating....goodness knows I don't need to go back into old eating habits.

I guess I'm not as alone as I thought I was! Suppose to go see my NUT on Wed. Hopefully she can give me some insight on what's going on with my stomach. I honestly don't think I could live off Turkey broth, Jello, and popsicles. I tried some Tomato Soup (1 tablespoon) and I was nauseated all day until about 11pm......ate it at 12p. What's wrong with me people!!!

I hope all of us get some type of balance with our stomachs soon. I really feel bad for us, especially after reading the posts...but I have to say I am glad I am not in this by my self.

I started on 40 once a day and was upped to 40 twice a day. I'm 2 1/2 months out and still can't drop down to 40.
