Grannykat--

I'm just about 5 months past surgery and still have challenges with regurgitation of stomach secretions (usually clear/white, foaming) along with last bits of food eaten. Seems to all depend on type of food and order injested. Saw Doctor a couple of weeks ago and he said not unusual for first year. Because there's not too much support here in India just trying to seperate the easy from hard to digest. meat (especially red) is biggest challenge--chicken cut into small pieces the easisest (for me) to digest. Oddly pastas have the same kind of challenge (which could really stink when we go to Italy this September). I have found the crunchy Breakfast bars (well chewed) perhaps 10 minutes after meal seem to clear esophogus and settle the stomach (perhaps reducing or absorbing the tummy secretions and moving the food down the digestive track.

Ain't been easy, but is getting better and better each day. 70 pounds down and 70 to go. Hope any of this helped.

I am three months out and have extreme nausea still. I can't get in my required Protein or liquids due to nausea.

I actually found that my welbuterin was causing me to be violently ill post-op. After throwing up non-stop for weeks I was able to make some adjustments and now can keep food, other meds and even ice Water down.

I too have nausea and have found chewing mint sugar helps settle my stomach. Hope that helps.

Should say mint gum!
