Hang in there and keep a positive attitude -- and your sense of humor -- it helps!

I almost broke somebody's arm when I was in the hospital. They brought me jello by mistake and then when they tried to take it away from my, I was ready for a fight. Dr. Aceves came in and told me he was sorry, I could not have jello yet. I never wanted jello so badly in my life!

I said something to Nina's Mom (WOULD SOMEONE PLEAE TELL ME HER NAME!!!) and boy that jello was off my tray in a blink of an eye! That's when I knew I was in for a long 10 days

I think I would have been up for a fight too..ever since I left the hospital I have not had the taste for orange crystal light..yuck..I sure ate the heck out of that chicken broth. I was hungry the next day out of surgery and I was asking Size Seven aren't you hungry as she looked green around the gills..obviously her answer was an emphatic "no" but the following day she got back on the program and was hungry too. I guess I've been in "lala" land thinking the first few days would be so easy..as I stated previously it's getting better..I keep thinking about that cute dress hanging in my closet just waiting for me when the time is right!

As for the OP...I have not had any heartburn yet, but again I am not taking in much. I still take the heartburn meds everyday though!

Try taking the nexium at night. During the day you are upright and walking but at night you're flat and that is when you should take the Nexium.

I took my prilosec at noon. That gave it some time to work before the time I would start to feel heartburn. (Around 3pm)

I started taking my Nexium at night after I was home about 2 days. I was having really bad reflux at night and changing from morning to night has helped a lot. However, I'm still waking up with some nausea each morning. I'm hoping this goes away soon!
