Merry Christmas to all past and present WLS clients! Keep your heads held high! Having surgery in May and now 80 pounds down makes this one of the best years of my life! Looking forward to continuing this journey in 2014 and beyond! 

I would check with your doctor. I've never taken it, but if you have something odd happening, it's always best to get it checked out by a professional. Different drugs can affect people differently.

I checked a little further:  http://www.rxlist.com/prilosec-drug.htm

This says "call your doctor at once if you have any of these symptoms of low magnesium:

• dizziness, confusion"

I guess Prilosec can cause low magnesium. I would definitely get it checked out with your doctor. 

When you got your prescription, it should have come with a sheet from the pharmacy listing all kinds of information, including side effects (at least all of my husband's prescriptions do), unless of course your doctor just gave you samples which probably came with nothing.

Hello my bariatric family,

 I just wanted to write this message for everyone.

I know Christmas can be stressful for anyone but with the added stress of having or going through wls it can be rough so i want to give you some words of encouragement.

you can get through this.look at everything you have done to get this far.It does get better for those struggling with issues.If this is your first Christmas post op.remember the guidelines for life after surgery.dont beat your self up if you stray a little we are only human and its Christmas all i ask is that you do everything in moderation.

Only you know your body and what you can or cant have.if you choose to have sweets only have a little bit to satisfy your craving so that you don't all of a sudden binge and get sick.

If you feel overwhelmed at all the food that family has put out take a step back and breathe.....and tell your self that you can do this.Christmas is one of the hardest holidays to deal with as a post op patient or anyone on the journey.

Something that i do personally is supply a treat that we can have and have it on hand for gatherings so that you do not feel left out.Also remember small portions when having your Christmas dinner as you do not want to be sick while everyone else is enjoying the gathering.

If you feel overwhelmed and need to talk i am here and am willing to help you

p.s i still do not regret what i have been through even with my current problems.

ALSO  MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE ENJOY YOUR NEW BODY AND JOURNEY INTO 2014
