What kind of pain and where?

I had lots of pains I thought were hunger until I got my PPI regimen down, then gone! Now over a year out of VSG I don't have to take any PPIs.

Sry what's PPI

@@mari12282 an acid reducer - usually you're prescribed one post-op.

Oh yes I take one twice a day

@@mari12282 Being only on clear liquids - it wouldn't be unusual for you to be actually hungry. Are you able to have Protein shakes? That might help.

Yes I don't like it bt I'm taking it...my Dr put me on lifeplan it a Protein shake that includes all my Vitamins as well

I just started my Prilosec this morning. It was a capsule and I was a little nervous about it. Nexiums are MUCH smaller. But the nurse said I should be taking them. I am hoping this will alleviate the gurlging feelings in my stomach. I swear I am keeping my hubby up at night, SO loud! I am thinking they must be gas pains/noises, because I rarely feel hunger, other than "head hunger" which I deal with, but is getting better. Other than the grilled burgers my family enjoyed last night.... ugh... sippin' my broth, sippin my broth.

You might have some acid, but it could also just be legit hunger. Keep pushing your liquid (I am doing TERRIBLE at this) and your Proteins (ditto.) But I just keep plugging away.

What is a PPI? I forget...

I need to find a thread focusing on post-op meds and Protein shake suggestions!

The coordinator said we were going to discuss payment and meds next time we speak. Are we given a script for PPI? Or is this something we buy over the counter at the drug store?

Usually you're given a script. Alot of people like Premier Protein shakes (pre-made). I have to use Bariatric fusion for my pre-op and they're really good - I'm just getting sick of the sweetness quickly. I went to my pre admission testing yesterday and they reviewed what meds I take now and what I need to stop and what to take morning of surgery. Pre-op teaching tomorrow and I was hoping they'd give us our scripts for post-op.

Wow, this is really full speed ahead now! I am really excited for you. Thanks for all the information.

I want to get a big bucket of vanilla powder: Do we suggest Premier Protein 100% whey with 30 grams protein per serving? Or is it better to get the Pure Protein with 23 grams of protein per serving?
