I understand that Pepcid is much gentler than Prilosec. You’re probably okay with it.

My daily routine includes 20 mg famotidine in the morning and evening. It seems to be working Ok. I have to avoid lactose, excessive fat and excessive spice. When I fail to do that, I pay an uncomfortable price. The less efficient digestive process demands 2,000 calories or I lose weight. Prior to the surgery, I maintained a steady weight with 1250 calories 5 days per week and 600 calories 2 days per week.

I hope you are getting enough protein. There are supplements such as PreProtein which provide 15 grams of protein in a one ounce dose. Fairlife protein shakes are also lactose-free, and the chocolate variety is delicious.

Good luck to you.
