Help--prilosec immediately post op



Recommended Posts

Were you given prilosec post op? Were you able to take it as is? Did you mix it with something? I was told to mix it with applesauce, but I'm 2 days post op and only on liquids for another 4 days.

Many thanks!

My doctor said I could have applesauce on my liquid diet to mix pills in because of the consistency that it is. It is pretty much a liquid.< /p>

I have a pill crusher, I crush the prilosec, pick out the plastic pill coating and down the powder with a sip of Water. I have been on prilosec generic for years and took it regularly for a week prior to surgery and immediately went back on it after surgery so I wouldn't battle acid.

Dr Alvarez gave us a 10 day supply of some Mexican brand "Zantac" to take every 12 hours. I'm going to check with my PCP about something stronger because I'm afraid I'm going to need it. It sucks, because I didn't need anything like that on a routine basis before surgery. I sure hope I won't need them forever....

I'm not on Prilosec, I'm on Prevacid sublingual 30 mg, but I still had to take my Cymbalta, which is in a capsule. It's not time released, and I brought it to the hospital with me. The nurse broke open the capsule in about a teaspoon of applesauce and I had no problem getting it down. It took several bites to get it down, but it wasn't a problem.

I'm taking my mental health meds...cracking my xanax into pieces, down them with a sip of water; open my prozac and do the same (gag it is so bitter!) And haven't picked my welbutrin back up because it can't be crushed or cut up and I'm not ready to swallow that pill yet. I'm pretty sure I can...so is my Dr. But my gut tells me to wait a week which is what I'm gonna do. My intuition rarely leads me astray.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
