Tiff, why do you prefer Prilosec over Nexium?

I've never taken Nexium so I don't truly have a preference for Prilosec over Nexium.

Nexium is extremely expensive even with RX coverage. Some insurance companies will not pay for Nexium because there is not a generic available. Prilosec and Protonix are both available by RX in generic form, and most insurance companies won't balk about having to cover these 2 drugs.

This thread is making me chuckle a bit because over the last couple of weeks, I've been trying to transition into my low carb pre-op diet so that it's not a shock to my system next month. Well, for some reason, I've been salivating over the Pork rinds lately at the gas station/CS I go to, but I didn't get them because I always thought of them as a guilty pleasure and useless calories. Now I find out that I can have them without feeling like a bad girl. My daughter is going to be so excited when we get to stop by "snack central" at the gas station tomorrow afternoon so I can get me some pork rinds. :wink0:

Mary, that's too funny! Seems like we have to relearn everything LOL.

Catyroses, after you asked, I seemed to remember my mom used to like the microwave ones. So, I called her this afternoon and she said they are great. I found some on Amazon and ordered them.:biggrin0:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
