Brief Answer:
It could be Dyspepsia

Detailed Answer:
Hi
As per your description, it could be Dyspepsia. It is due to GERD.

Instead of Plain Esmoprazole(Nexium), you should take Esmoprazole+ Domperidone combination.
Please take small, frequent meals. Avoid painkillers.

Weight should be maintained
Exercises should be done
Avoid spicy foods.
Nothing to worry about. It will come down.
If there is no response, you should get an Upper GI endoscopy and proceed further.

Hope I answered your query. If you have any questions, I will clarify further.

Wishing you good health
Regards

Hey doc Thanks for your response. A couple things I forgot to add.i had my gallbladder removed because of some stones in December. My Stomach still feels full but less and 10 hours have passed. I had for dinner just Salmon, salad , Hummus and one little Role of bread that's it. I do have Gas as well but not pain ( heartburn from Gerd ) I hope this helps your assessment here. I am afraid to eat now:(. Hope to hear from you soon Aryeh
