What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?

Amen! Except when they come back at 30... but they don't chat you up like they do at 11!  LOL

Good Morning! Feeling frustrated. Went for an H. Pylori test today which came out negative. Which might be good except I guess it means I will be on Prilosec forever.

b: tea

s: Ezekial bread, PB, banana

L: Costco chicken salad

S:?

D: balsamic pork loin, zucchini

Exercise: still doing my pool time while I can

I was negative for H Pylori and I'm still on prilosec (10 years) but I'm only taking once a day and I have had no reflux since surgery.  They want me off at 6 months.   Are you still having reflux?

Oh I should add that I have gone without for a couple of days and had none.   Before surgery I could not go a day without it.

I never was on Prilosec or reflux before surgery

Hey, do you just have reflux or do you have general abdominal distress when you don't take the Prilosec? The reason I asked, is that my doctor also wants me to come off of Prilosec but when I don't take it, I have very uncomfortable abdominal pain (feels like a diverticulitis attack). 

I think maybe I should discuss this with my NP during my 6 week check on the 21st.  

Sorry about having to stay on Prilosec... it really isn't a medicine that I want to take forever, either.

Mostly general discomfort but sometimes heartburnish type feeling.  But in the 'withdrawal' I did vomit a number of times - not food but more bile/acid. I was trying to figure out how I could have this awful GERD. not mild at all -when I never had it before surgery. In doing some research the other day I found out you can have Bile Reflux which can be caused by having 'damage to your Pyloric valve or having gastric surgery where your pyloric valve is removed including gastric bypass surgery.' Hmmm. That makes more sense. Doesn't help, but makes more sense.

You know when I throw up (and I make it sound like it is all the time and it's really not), I never throw up bile or have that bile aftertaste. I don't have any reflux or acid type issues. Mine is just nausea and cramping abdominal pain when I don't take my Prilosec. 

Who knows what causes it?  Maybe, the doc will know (I hope). Anyway, until then, Prilosec is my friend.

Good morning all!  I'm late to the party this morning because I took a couple hours of vacation time to run this morning.  Seriously?  When did I become "that" person?  I ran 10 miles today.  Its my last long run before Ironman Augusta 70.3.  I have one long ride on Saturday (56 miles) and then its taper time!  WHOO HOO!  

Time since surgery: 14 months

B: Granola bar before run

S: Iced Coffee and Starbucks Reduced Fat Turkey Bacon Egg white sandwich

L: Chicken CHiptotle Sausage

S: Pretzel thins and dip

D: unknown

S: unknown (Junior League meeting tonight)

W/V: Started

E: DONE!  10 mile run

Have a great day everyone!!
