Terrible reflux after eating & vomiting

[Shell ???? 224]

Hi all I'm on purée and I just ate some purée slow cooked casserole meat got terrible pains in my chest

Realised I didn't take my reflux pill today waited an agonising 30 minutes to have a drink and take the pill a few minutes later I threw up the Water and tablet and some of my dinner this is the first time I've thrown up since surgery 29/3 I also ate the same thing last night for tea no issues at all. I didn't feel like I overstuffed myself at all and now I'm not sure what's happened did I drink to soon, did I eat to much, does the reflux get better I only get it after eating.

Unfortunately reflux is a side-effect for many sleevers. I didn't worry about it because I had reflux before the surgery. You will need to continue to take you meds. In time it might mellow out but you will likely have bouts with it the rest of your life.

Proud2BeMe speaks the truth, Reflux is real, I did not think I would get it, but I did.. I learned the hard way... sometimes you can predict it, other times you can't but you will get better at knowing your body and what combinations or times of day cause it..

My wake up call came, one night when I had a yogurt cup before bed, I ate the yogurt then stayed up for 10-15min, then went to bed.. about 30min later, "hack hack, cough, hack hack, cough belch burp.. hack vomit".. since then when i know I am going to eat something late, I take my reflux pills.. Early on post surgery, I took them because that was what I was told.. I backed off after the frist 40days... and it was about 2months post surgery when the yogurt happened...

So now reflux pills are just part of my routine when I know i am going to be eating late, or something spicy for dinner.

I had terrible reflux and almost constant vomiting as well for the first three weeks post op and magically once I hit three weeks it stopped. I hate to sound like an expert I'm a month and a day out but hang in there. When I was suffering (I had a ROUGH three weeks) I thought there was no end in sight.
