Anone having issues with persistent issues this?

I felt the grinding for a about 4 days, then it slowed down to only happening when I ate something my stomach didn't like. I think by the 3rd week, it was gone completely.

what meds are you on to prevent it

I didn't take any meds once I was back home. Saying the taste made me gag is an understatement.

I had this very same thing last week. I thought I was going nuts! It felt like constant hunger pains! I am on 40 mg of omeprazole a day. I took a zantac, and I took tums, and none of it seemed to help. When I called my surgeon, his PA told me to go ahead and add refried beans, and yogurt to my diet. (I was one week post-op) That did the trick. I think it all started after my first BM since surgery. All of the sudden it was like everything woke up, you know?

i think i started this problem a month out because i was wrongly crushing the time release omezaprole which was basically like taking almost nothing at all..and it was only 20mg to start. i am taking it whole. slept fine..stomach is ok..also forgo my one cup of very strong coffee today...not worth it even though i love it....
