Call your surgeon's office.  They let me start taking prevacid capsuls at about 2 weeks.

I wasn't aware that it is in liquid form.  Do it tast as nasty as the powder from the pills?  I also take 60 mg and since the first night I opened the capsule, I just can't stomach it!!  Maybe when I move in to my next stage I can sprinkle it in applesauce or something????

 I know what you mean..I tried that also! And I have to take 3 capsules, or 60 mg. per day, so I can't  imagine that there's anything I could do to disguise that poison taste! If you run across any ideas, please pass them to me. I'm a little surprised that I didn't get more responses; I thought there would be many more prozac-takers out there in our community, so thank you for your input! It looks like I may have to stick with the liquid version :(  but if this is the only hardship I must endure, it's nothing in the grand scheme of things!

Thanks! I see my doctor next Thursday, so hopefully we'll get this figured out. I increased my water intake recently too, so hopefully things will get "flushed out."

My surgery was 10/21 and I have a little bit of soreness on my left side, but nothing like it was!  My problem was, about a week after surgery, I had one day of about 12 sneezes.  MAN - did that HURT!!  I could feel it come on and would hold my stomach and try to get through it.  I was able to keep a few at bay, but I felt as though I was tearing something when I did.  Because of me trying to "modify" my sneezes, I think I pulled a muscle in my upper back - now I'm dealing with that - it feels like I've got an ice pick in there.  I can't have any anti-inflammatories and it wakes me up 2-3 times a night.  I went to the chiropractor and he said I have a soft tissue issue.  So I bought some icy-hot and am using ice packs... I'll get through it...
