I have the same thing -- I upped my nexium to 40 mg. in the morning; however, that doesn't seem to help in the evening - so considering doing 20 in AM and 20 in PM before dinner

Trust me - 5 days makes a heck of difference -- everyday it get easier (except those damn clear liquids) ... I am with you on the sight of Jell-O!

Hang in there and keep a positive attitude -- and your sense of humor -- it helps!

I almost broke somebody's arm when I was in the hospital. They brought me Jello by mistake and then when they tried to take it away from my, I was ready for a fight. Dr. Aceves came in and told me he was sorry, I could not have jello yet. I never wanted jello so badly in my life!

I freaked out when they brought me jello -- it was lime - I don't even like lime jello - but by golly I would have eaten it -- that was day 3. I said something to Nina's Mom (WOULD SOMEONE PLEAE TELL ME HER NAME!!!) and boy that jello was off my tray in a blink of an eye! That's when I knew I was in for a long 10 days :confused1:

I think I would have been up for a fight too..ever since I left the hospital I have not had the taste for orange crystal light..yuck..I sure ate the heck out of that chicken broth. I was hungry the next day out of surgery and I was asking Size Seven aren't you hungry as she looked green around the gills..obviously her answer was an emphatic "no" but the following day she got back on the program and was hungry too. I guess I've been in "lala" land thinking the first few days would be so easy..as I stated previously it's getting better..I keep thinking about that cute dress hanging in my closet just waiting for me when the time is right!

What's it doing hanging in your closet - get it out where you can see it daily instead of having to think about it!

She is awesome! So sweet and really cares about you and how you're feeling, I loved her!!!

As for the OP...I have not had any heartburn yet, but again I am not taking in much. I still take the heartburn meds everyday though!

Try taking the nexium at night. During the day you are upright and walking but at night you're flat and that is when you should take the Nexium.

I took my prilosec at noon. That gave it some time to work before the time I would start to feel heartburn. (Around 3pm)

I start to feel it about 7 at night ... so maybe I should take it at like 4 and see if that makes a difference. I don't know anymore about anything.

I started taking my Nexium at night after I was home about 2 days. I was having really bad reflux at night and changing from morning to night has helped a lot. However, I'm still waking up with some nausea each morning. I'm hoping this goes away soon!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
