Stopped taking nexium....



Recommended Posts

Just put the two together that I've been feeling nauseous and having some stomach discomfort for the paddy week and so half....I stopped taking my nexium 2 weeks ago.....dr said ok if I had no issues.....have not had any issues since surgery 6 months ago so I thought I'd be fine. Did this cause issues for anyone else???? I think I'm starting my pill back in the morning.

I ran out and fiqured I would be fine, but for two weeks I had a lot of discomfort and pain so I called my doctor and he got me another prescription. As soon as I started taking it again the pain stopped. I'm almost 6 months out and I don't plan on stopping it again any time soon.

So I stopped never had an issue and after I was always nauseous and felt nasty from being nauseous. So I started back on my own and have been a ok since ill try again in one month for 6 months post

I've tried to come off nexium 3x and always get that yuk feeling 2-3 days out. I have no insurance @ this time and nexium is so expensive...

I agree will take this forever. I was on it for acid reflux before surgery and now on a different versiion protonix or something like that, twice a day and I think it really does make a difference.

      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.
