Now I know exactly what my PPI does....



Recommended Posts

I have been bad and have forgotten to take my PPI for about a week. Now I recognize the 'hungry' feeling I have had for the last umpteen years.

I won't be forgetting it again anytime soon! UGH!

You're lucky.. It only took me 1/2 a day to realized I missed my dose. It wasn't hunger, but pain. Won't be forgetting it again

It's actually been there for a couple of days and I couldn't figure out why I was getting those 'hunger' pains. DOH!

Congrats! I actually had a couple "doh" moments during my pregnancy. I'd been off my PPI for a long while because I didn't need it. But boy, as soon as I got pregnant I did need it. I felt hungry around the clock and it actually took several weeks for me to realize I needed Prilosec again. Oops.

Now I only need to treat acid once in a while but sure enough, I'll get that grumbly tummy and feel hungry and that's when I know I need to take something that day.

PPI?

Proton-Pump Inhibitor

(aka Prilosec, Lansoprazole, and other names)

Oh! I'm on that now. This is my second day. And I think it's the reason I have headaches and am dizzy. It's the only new thing I've started. I'm hoping it'll pass soon though.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
