Ok, so i had my first heartburn attack today. It was my first day back to work and i didnt take my prilosec in the morning, thinking i could just take it when i got home. :0( i didnt think it would matter, as its not "fast acting" anyway. Either it mattered or something else is going on. Any thoghts? Im on one 20 mg pill per day.

Even on Prevacid I could never skip. Take it first or you will likely be miserable. That was probally the cause of the heartburn.

Does increasing the dose of PPI help with hunger for those 3+ months out? I take 1 Prilosec daily and found hunger returning. If it is acid, I can see an increase would help me.

I take two Prilosec and two Zantac daily! Recommended by my doctor' date=' and its working for me.[/quote']

That's great news. What times during the day do you take them? How long have you been on them? Did your md give you a time limit on how long u can stay on this schedule? Thanks in advance!

Does anyone ever wake up with a burning sensation in their chest? That is what I'm faced with and I'm on pantazole twice per day. sleeping upright is not fun.

I would say its likely heartburn gerd related. Have you talked with your Md?

Taking two Prilosec on am and Zantac at night has really helped.

Switched to Prevacid. What a relief! I went from feeling like my stomach was a raw wound to being not sensitive to Fluid. And I didn't have to sit up the whole night . Thanks folks

      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.
