Prilosec Or Omeprazole - Reduces Dumping !?!



Recommended Posts

Well, I did not know this. I take 20mg of Omeprazole each day for heartburn. I saw my dietician yesterday and he said that if you regularly take these, your dumping may be reduced. So, you think you're a non dumper, like me (excpet for one ill-judged chinese takeaway) but actually, if you weren't on one of these, you may dump more! Who knew?

Boy that is interesting. I've been on Prilosec for years and was really hoping I'd be able to get off of it after surgery, but haven't been able to. I have no dumping what so ever. Maybe will try to go off meds and see what happens. I hate to admit I need the dumping to help with self-control but I do.

I take two 20mg of omperazole, one in the morning and one at night. And I still dump, but sometimes it is on purpose due to the fact I'm so constipated from just a Protein diet. Benafiber sugar free really does a number. As long as I'm home dumping isn't a problem.

This is very interesting information and I will check it out on my next visit. Thanks for the information. There are times I seem to be dumping and I am just eating what I am allowed to eat so I am not sure what the problem can be. Thanks again.

      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.
