Ask your surgeon.

Are you on any acid reducers/PPIs ?

I was given Rabeprazole post op, and it did not work well for me. My reflux was getting worse and worse.

I asked for Nexium script, and this worked wonders for me.

6 months later I am free of reflux, and weaning myself slowly of Nexium.

It is important to sip slowly, eat slowly, chew really well and to stay away from acidic foods/drinks.

I had to stop tomato/V8 juice, but coffee was OK with me.

I also did not tolerate beef.

Good luck!
