I've had GERD for the last 6 months. It all started with feeling nauseated after eating certain foods (fatty foods)
but now, its gotten to the point where I am completely unable to eat anything without agony in the top of my stomach and nausea.
I went to the doctors and I'm now on 40mg of Omeprazole a day and I've been instructed to eat soup for 10 days.
Is there anyone out there who has got the same sort of symptoms and can suggest any foods that are good and reduce symptoms because if I eat any more cupasoups, I'm going to pass out from not enough calories!

Thankyou in advance.

You might want to see a GI doctor and maybe have a scope done if you haven't all ready done so. I just went through a rough time myself a couple weeks ago and you have to baby your stomach find what foods work for you. I have been having ramen noodles with 1/3 of the seasoning pack added just for a hint of flavor. Mashed potato, chicken breast diced up in a bed of rice, sometimes the rice helps absorb acid. Watermelon, poached eggs on dry toast. Peanut butter on a English muffin. Noodles with alfredo sauce, (not a lot of sauce just enough) you might try a whey protein drink. I have also been taking slippery elm to coat and protect my esophagus.

Actually this sounds like you may have a food allergy.

Does this agony in the top of the stomach + nausea come with any other sensations? Like waking up with difficulty to breathe, a nasty taste in the back of the mouth and burning in the throat?

Also does omeprazole alleviate anything at all?

If so, then do what nofun above me says. Also do not eat 3 hours before bed and sleep in an elevated position.

Otherwise nausea is allergy related. Also cramp-like pain is more allergy/virus/indigestion pain while burning tends to be linked to reflux. It's good that you are on a soup diet, but if you find things not changing, maybe try a dietitian too.
