10 months out & just did a blog yesterday about all being "sunny" Haven't had any issues, complications etc. all along - last night I ate dinner really early, didn't do a snack or anything during the evening & was really hungry & ate a 1/4 of a protein bar 20 min before bedtime - Woke up 2 1/2 hours later with I think (never experienced it) but acid reflux?? - burning in my throat & mouth - ick!! Couldn't stop coughing & wondered if I had thrown up a bit (sorry TMI) - I had this to a lesser degree one other time a few months back when I ate some greek yogurt not long before bed but didn't "connect" what it might be since I never experienced this before. I did a search online this morning and it seems quite common ? GERD ? or Acid reflux? I remember my doctor's office telling me not to lie down too soon after eating but I guess I thought that was post surgical instructions for early on in this journey - anyone else experienced this? Guess I need to plan those snacks better so I am not starving at 10pm. (I have actually woken up in the middle of the night feeling hungry so planning of those snacks is important I guess - even this far out from surgery) I had ate a half of a small burger patty with (1) cooked mushroom at about 5pm - I usually do a lite snack around 8pm - LESSON LEARNED!!
