Horrible Heart Burn that only goes away when I throw up

[Joannegonz 2]

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.
