ychani 21 Posted February 28, 2016 Hiya, I'm wondering if anybody else is experiencing what feels like a painful hunger pains late night early mourning? I don't think it's hunger I don't want any food persay. I'm 11 day post-op. I think it's stomach acid that's bothering me. I started to take the prescribe med in the evening to help. It did alil. But, it keeps me waking up around 6am and won't stop Untill I put something in me. Then it settle down. If anyone else deals with this what yall do? I don't go for my first appt fill up Untill this thrusday 3/3. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kindle 8,667 Posted February 28, 2016 It's acid. What's your antacid med and dose? You may need to take more for awhile or switch to a different one. I was on 40mg omeprazole daily for two months. But even at that dose it would sometimes flair up. Rolaids or Maalox were a quick fix when it did. After 2-3 months I no longer needed any PPIs. Now, when I occasionally get gastritis or a bit of acid I take an H2 blocker like famotidine or ranitidine or even just a couple Rolaids. They are faster acting than the PPIs and I only have to take them for a day or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
