Thank you to everyone that responsed to my post about being ravenous every day.  I doubled up on my Prilosec and can say that my stomach is no longer bubbling up after I eat, which felt like true hunger!!  It's such a relief and it is so much easier to stay on track now.  *whew*

I also concentrated on my carb counts this week.  I aimed for 20 grams or less.  That was hard to do at times, especially days I put a bit of pineapple in my protein shake, but I stayed pretty low, and that helped!  I broke my stall.  Not by leaps and bounds, but hey, every little bit sure helps the mind f*ck that goes on!!  ha ha!!  

Thanks again, everyone...I am very excited about my future again!

 I am having the same issue just started the prilosec 3 days ago. How long were you on it before it you realized you needed two at at a time?

About 3 days from surgery is when I started on the Prilosec, and 5 weeks from surgery is when I started doubling up.  It took a couple of days, but it made a big difference!

So great to hear, do you take it twice a day or two at once?  Morning or night?  When you posted earlier this week I added an AM dose, um for day, then forgot the rest of the week to even take one!  Ugh lol
