Omg stomach not happy

[Travelher 915]

So 2 weeks post op. Decided to try a tiny bit of lemonade crystal light to my Water for a bit of flavour...so regretting that now...way too acidic burning and non stop burping since then. I'll never do that again. Now I'm wishing my surgeon had sent me home with antacids

I'm on protonix which is supposed to protect the stomach I have no issues with acidic foods with this

I don't recall any problems using Crystal Light after my RNY surgery. My surgeon prescribed omeprazole [over the counter Prilosec] after surgery for the first year. This was not for GERD or acid reflux but rather to allow my stomach to heal. Protonix is a similar medicine. So perhaps if you took a proton-pump inhibitor, this might help you.

My surgeon gave me a prescription Famotidine to take morning and evening and it helps as an antacid.

I didn't get anything prescribed when I left. Haven't had any medicine since I was in the hospital. I'll see if I have issues with other foods and then maybe ask for one. I know I was on Prilosec after my band for a good 6 months. I was surprised I didn't get anything.

I think Famotidine was prescribed on a consistent basis for patients post RNY surgery.

I have prilosec. But it's capsules. So when i open them up little marble like things come out. I have taken them a couple times but i feel they might be time release and it i don't think it worked any time i used them. No heart burn or anything but rumbling and a feeling of hunger? I'm so confused.

Torriluv87 I get the hunger/rumbling too.

My doctor prescribed Prilosec. I was told to open the capsules and pour the contents on top of sugar free pudding or oatmeal and take it that way. I guess it helps healing the stoma.
