I have been on Nexium since I've been in the hospital and was instructed to take them everyday for 3 months. I thought everyone had to take them... Some form of anti-acid

They only had me taking an anti acid for 6 weeks.. However not it has gotten really bad where my whole stomach hurts.. I have had it before and it was no big deal. I pop a Pepcid and within 5 mins I am fine.. However since the sleeve.. I worry, how is this affecting me?

I have been taking a PPI (antacid) since surgery. I'm miserable without it. Most people post-surgery need some type of PPI. My stomach feels like it's boiling sometimes even with the PPI so I have to take tums or maalox too.

I am wondering if 2 PPI is better than 1 to help with hunger. I get somewhat hungry after 2.5 hours from last eating and would like to eliminate that. I eat every 3 hours a small amount of Protein (3-4 oz).

I take two Prilosec in am and one Zantac in pm. Helps a lot.

I was wondering if I could take more than 1 type of acid medicine. I tried protonix and while it worked great for acid, the side effects were awful. I'm guessing you take just the regular zantac?

I was on pepcid and it did nothing. I just switched to Omeprozole and it's awesome. I used it before the surgery every day for acid reflux. I am hoping my acid reflux problems go away after surgery but so far no luck.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
