I can relate to your predicament so well. Rochelle and I discussed

this topic at length in the past. Neither of us have been able to

eat at night, (It is different with my second band though).Rochelle

can't (or couldn't)eat a mouthful and it made me so ill with the

same symptoms as you describe. Being totally honest with ourselves

and each other we realised the problem was the VOLUME of food we ate

through the day that was the real problem. There was just no more

room in the pouch by night time. In my case I never brought it back

up it just sat there and churned away, sometimes it would create a

mouthful of yuk while I was sleeping. I grazed, junk food mostly,

the type that went down easily. Nothing as fine fare as you prepare

for yourself, but I honestly think you hit the nail on the head this

morning. I too slept and still sleep on 3 pillows and from

experience I honestly know rather than the type of food I ate it was

volume. By your posts and discussions I have had with you I have no

doubt your problem is volume too. I think it just lays in the pouch

slowly working it's way through but once we lay down, thanks to

gravity, it has the option of going up or down and does so. I hope

the restriction helps but please consider the volume of food you are

consuming. Try just one day to slow down and see the difference. It

was very obvious to me and that is why it isn't happening any more.

I am eating better meals, no junk (in order to be able to fit in

proper meals) and I still get reflux but not the pain, discomfort or

the food coming back up that I had previously. Good luck, Maree
