Horrible Heart Burn that only goes away when I throw up



Recommended Posts

I am 5 weeks out on my gastric bypass. I have thrown up 3 different times. 2 times last week and today. I was eating chicken Soup this time and what happened is I had really bad heart burn and I knew to throw up so it would stop.. So I threw up.. I wonder if I am eating too fast? I have not eaten anything that I am not suppose too. I do tend to eat fast cause I am always in a hurry. Has anyone experienced this? I am paranoid about strictures...

Hi, I’m sorry you’re in so much pain. There are a few reasons you’re getting ill. One is, yes, you are eating too fast and when eating too fast we don’t chew the food into a suitable mush. Also it’s chicken. I’m unsure what you eat but some soup can be acidic, and of all meat, chicken is the hardest to digest. I would wait a full month on chicken. Or purée-

I have had this issue and learned to slow it down a lot. That helps because then I can feel restriction starting before it’s too late and before I’m pretty syed to throwing up.

I wish you the very best and hope you feel better soon.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
