Was Feeling Great...at first =0(



Recommended Posts

My doctor prescribed me Protonix which I took my first dose of yesterday....awww so much better. However, I'm starting to think I might have an ulcer because last night I woke up with my stomach burning like I swallowed 10 whole jalepenos! It went on for about 3 hours and I couldn't get it to stop. Finally, I drank some ice cold powerade/water mix and it seemed to start calming down.

Needless to say I lost a lot of sleep this weekend. I'm glad I will be seeing the doctor tomorrow. One good thing is that I am up to drinking 2oz. at a time now. So it is getting better.

I will keep you all posted!

In the meantime you may try to sleep on an incline or in a recliner if you feel acid coming up your throat. Also see if it might work best to take the PPI just before sleeping too. You probably know this as well, but they say not to eat right before bed--drinking is ok.

Hope you're able to get some answers and feel better soon. Did the surgeon fix your hernia while doing the sleeve?

Update..

So I went to the DR today and everything looked great. He didn't feel the need to do the Endoscopy since all of my symptoms have stopped. Unfortunately, the Protonix made me break out in hives so I am now trying Prilosec in the morning and Pepcid AC at night.

We've came to the conclusion that the Carafate was the the root of the problem and everything just spiraled out of control from there. Through it all I never vomitted when I ate or drank. Only when I took that darn Carafate. I happened to be in the 1% of folks who just can't tolerate it.

I really appreciate all of the concern & support. :biggrin2:

Oh one more thing. I lost a total of 25 pounds so far!

(5 days pre-op + 12 days post-op)

Now that's AMAZING! :001_tongue:

Off to try my first soft food.. mashed potatoes & taking it slow.

Later!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
