when you folks speak of acid reducer - is it in liquid form? what was it called?

also, the percs you got - in liquid or pill?

I got Prevacid tablets and Percocet tablets. Haven't taken the Prevacid but I've been cutting the percs in half. First day they were a bit tough to swallow but easier today and I felt way better on them then the morphine I was on right after surgery - less nausea.

I haven't even opened the box yet lol! No trouble with acid yet so I figured I'd skip it tonight and start them in the morning. Hope I got fast tabs! I've heard the acid is killer, good thing we get that prescription

Welcome to the bench Katie! Hope you enjoyed the broth last night! The prevacid is a must and you should take it half an hour before eating. The last thing you want is an ulcer in your new pouch! Good luck and looking forward to hearing about your progress. When I got home I lived on protein shakes, broth, sf pudding that I added protein powder to and cottage cheese-you actually can chew cottage cheese and it was such a great feeling considering how long we have been on liquids!!

The night I got out of the hospital, we went to a restaurant and I had cream of mushroom soup.

Take the percocets when you need them. Who cares what others did this is about you. Helps you move more. Start eating even if it is only broth. Throw in some protein powder. You will do great
