I was at the surgeon's for my pre-op screening yesterday and I got my post-op prescriptions. One is for liquid Prilosec which, according to both pharmacies I checked, doesn't exist. 

Are there other liquid options?  Is this even necessary since the nexium pills I currently take are so small?  I trust my surgeon, but I feel like he might be taking the liquid only this for two weeks to an extreme that is unnecessary.

I have not idea, but I was given the capsule form and had no problems taking it right away. It's pretty small. I'd ask your doctor about it though.

Thanks guys. :)

while le waiting for the doc's nurse to call me back, I bought some of the capsules. So worst case I can break those into something to swallow!

I was prescribed liquid Zantac, aka ranitidine. I took 150mg 2x daily.

There is a liquid Prilosec, it has to be made by the pharmacy. It's very expensive but CVS had it and quoted me a price. I just decided to go with the capsules, open them and put them in apple sauce or yogurt.
