Anyone taken an appetite suppressant post op?



Recommended Posts

From what I've learned so far in my Quest to eliminate my hunger or false hunger or acid OR WHATEVER IT IS that is making me hungry all the time. I've found so far that:

active ingredient - esomeprazole magnesium (i.e nexium) - didn't do diddly squat

active ingredient - omeprazole (i.e. Prilosec) - only tried for a week, seemed like same ingredient as nexium and still didn't do anything for my hunger.

active ingredient - lansoprazole (i.e. Prevacid) - I've been on for couple of months and it has helped alittle but not constant. I also didn't know that this is an H2 blocker not a PPI, per my PA (I don't really remember the difference)

active ingredient - pantoprazole sodium (i.e. Protonix) - going to try it, and see what happens

If this doesn't work, I don't know what's next, I think those are the main PPI's on the market now.

sleeve, if the Protonix doesn't work for you - go back and try the Omeprazole. I agree Nexium is terrible. I was on it for 3 weeks before moving on. My stomach felt like a volcano with it. It took me at least 2 weeks before Omep. worked to its full 100%. Just a suggestion of course, but once it gets going full steam ahead it really works wonderfully. :)

Thanks Diva, I will definitely keep that idea on the Plan B list!

I was having a snacking problem that resulted in a one month stall, no gain, but still a stall of gaining and losing the same single pound. It unfolded out of a particularly harsh PMS and then just became daily practice. I tried to get myself out of it, to no avail. So, I turned to some old Hydroxycut I had left in a drawer from my pre-sleeve days. It has allowed me to stop snacking. I will not use it long term, just to break what had become my typical snacking routine. Today is day two.

I know I will probably face another criticism for this, but I don't care. I will not fail at this. I refuse. I am doing this my way.
