Thanks so much for the quick replies....
I do have a water with lime in it - and it has been sitting here for 3 hours without me touching it.
I guess you could say I was wondering if it would "work" - but more so - I know it was created more for RNY patients - so yes, I was wondering if it would be worth it to do having had VSG.
I worry every day about my teeth - but mostly I get rid of foamy acid. My esophagus doesn't close. He made me SO tight, along with my original reflux, it has left my valve to where it never fully closes now. We have watched it during my swallow tests - pretty amazing.
I am sure that I am eating too fast too - we eat out several times per week and my DH eats FAST!!! I find myself mindlessly eating fast also. I am trying to be more aware.
Why is it that sweets have a calming effect on the foamy and acid bile after I eat? I have also found that after I eat, cofee (usually a skinny Starbucks) has a calming effect on my tummy too.
Again, thanks for the support and suggestions. I need to get my mindset off of that I am "normal" and realize that I am no longer normal, but now I am special. I need to treat my new tummy special and feed it properly. Sometimes we just need a little kick in the butt to get back on track. This website is a good start.
