Can i take prilosec whole?

[lwilliams65 102]

I read so we here that you aren't supposed to take whole pills unless its a capsule for 30 days but then I see people all the time saying they always took whole pills. I really want to start taking Prilosec cos I have so much heartburn but idk whether to crush it up or just swallow it?

Oh that's good to hear... I'm gonna start taking mine then cos this heartburn sucks. Girl, I feel like crap. I've only lost 14 pounds. I'm thinking, I did not just spend 4700.00 dollars to lose the same amount I would on a silly diet. I'm majorly bummed but I know I haven't given it enough time. I'm just always hungry so I feel like this is not gonna work for me. Destined to be fat I guess. How are you?? You were doing awesome right after surgery... Are you still feeling as good? How much have you lost?

For the first 2weeks my doc had me open them up in a medicine cup and chase them down with a sip of Water. He started me on them 2nd day from surgery. Gas pain mimics hunger to our sleeves, hopefully after taking that your "hunger" will subside. Btw 14 lbs a month is 168 a year!!! You are doing great!

I did try tums and they do help a little bit. I've been having 65-75 grams of Protein a day. I don't want to increase it more and then be constipated lol. I'm glad you came out of your stall

After two weeks you could take them whole? I'm almost 3 weeks so I'd like to take them whole. I have no problem with drinking stuff. Nothing gets stuck. Pretty much feels like I never had surgery accept for paranoia of getting a leak. It's definitely hunger. I can determine what is gas, heartburn and hunger and I got all three, lucky me. The14 pounds is only upsetting because usually people lose a high amount and then slow down. If 14 is my high amount... That blows thank you for your input and advice

I was taking them whole at 2 weeks had no problems. Every one loses differently so don't be discouraged,

[thinathart 197]

My Dr. had me taking them whole as soon as I was released from the hospital (2 days after surgery). No problems.

My doctor said to split them if they were over the size of an M&M, but I'm not sure how long after surgery he wanted you to do that, since I only had Singular and that's about the size of a tic-tac.

Im pretty sure my doctors office never said to do anything special with them.
