Tangy,

How are you taking the prilosec? I haven't seen a chewable form yet. And the box I got says not to chew or crush.

I have Rx solu prevacid. It just dissolves on the tongue.

My dr prescribed it in capsule form and told me I can swallow capsules just not tablets. I had to start taking it 2 days after surgery. I never took it before and I guess it's working cause I haven't had any issues maybe your doctor can prescribe it?

Not having a good day here . I have developed this very sharp, intense pain on my left side near my hip bone and it travels down to my groin. It happens every 15-20 seconds and feels like a hot burning wave as it travels down my body. I suspect I have a bad UTI from not drinking enough water. I have an appointment with my surgeon at 2:30. Please pray it isn't something more serious

Praying for you, BlueSea. Hope it's nothing serious. Take care and let us know.

Sending prayers and good vibes your way Bluesea.

I am doing good happy that tonight I will get to eat a scrambled egg and string cheese. Ah the little things. I feel great honestly and have since day two once I was off the pain medicine I can't wait to start working out more than a mile walk!

I have a bad urinary tract infection. Starting antibiotics tonight. Just thankful it isn't a leak!!!!

Good to hear it wasnt a leak Bluesea...hope you feel better soon.

So........today was my 1st followup since surgery 2 weeks ago. All went well, Dr said Im losing as expected. He did tell me to stop weighing myself almost every day lol So Im going to try my best to only weigh myself once a week as per his recommendation.

He also said since Ive been doing really good with puree foods I can gradually start soft foods next week. I dont know if I wanna do that just yet. I rather stick it out a little longer. If I do try soft foods I wont be eating it everyday. I want to lose as much as I can in my first 3 months. My ideal goal is to lose 50lbs by my bday is August, so Ive 31lbs more to go!

I'm sorry you're having trouble, but I'm glad it wasn't something worse. UTI's are awful though, so I hope that antibiotic kicks it fast. Sip that water girl. Feel better!
