So I've been on solid/soft foods now for a while. Have only had one episode of throwing up foam after a run in with 2 bites of a bunless hamburger - the hamburger won. It's weird because I've been able to eat lean ground beef! Maybe the density, fat content, ...? Oh well.. nice to have something to deter me from burgers in general
Today was the first day in a while I've really felt FATIGUED. I was having so much energy but went to visit my family in Asheville this weekend and forgot to bring the protein shake I usually have in the morning (still usually rely on them to get my full amount of protein). I of course tried to compensate with my intake but should have really just gone ahead and drove the miles to the grocery store and gotten a few bottles. Goes to show how important protein intake is!
Side note... I've been having "hunger pangs" which I think are just stomach acid. Usually my calcium makes it settle down but lately I've been having it more and more. Currently on 40 of omeprazole... should i ask to up it or just keep on with the current plan?

I was on Nexium after surgery, and I constantly had like burning hunger pains. I stopped Nexium as I should after 8 weeks, but no luck, everything came back up except yogurt. I tried half the dosage, didn't work either. Doctor told me to stay on 40mg. Then I was at my support group, and we have a doctor there, and she told me to get on pantoprazol. Night and day difference. No longer burning hunger pains. I'll try and go off them in a few week, first by half dosage, and then completely. Hopefully it will work.

I usually take that time as a reminder to take my calcium supplement but I haven't tried drinking water. I had never had heartburn before this so whenever I feel the burning I have no clue whether it's "bad" or not. I'll have to ask my doctor about pantoprazole! The last few days haven't been bad at all so I'll see how I do in he two weeks before my next appointment. Thanks for your suggestions!!
