Guest guest Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 G'mornin', Marta. We aren't holiday folks. My husband is at work and our kid is packing up to spend a day or two here and then take me to Delano. We decided--at the last minute--to hit Knott's for dinner last night. It was a case of pre-planned leftovers, because their meals are enormous. Today, at lunch, my mother and daughter and I (as much as I can participate) will have tamales and eggs and refried beans. That pretty much makes a holiday here. I've moved back to Prevacid--but twice a day. I HOPE it works a little better. But I do have a Reglan question. The Rx says q6h/prn...but it also says " take 1/2 hour before meals. " Does that mean " don't take any more frequently than q6h, AND give it a half hour to work, you moron?

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Sue, we order it that way. Yes, it takes a half-hour to work its magic so plan to hold off on eating for thirty minutes or else it won't do you any good. Do not take it closer together than 6 hours. Correct again! Only take it if you need it (prn). Don't ask me how you know 30 min in advance whether or not you will need it, I don't have a clue! lol Marta > But I do have a Reglan question.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Thanks and LOL. At first, I fixated on the six hour thing. Then I fixated on the half hour thing. Finally, I figured tht if I eat lunch at noon and then start thinking about an early dinner...SOME rule is going to be broken. Such is life! > > Sue, we order it that way.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Sue, I almost hate to point this out to you, but you can eat whenever you feel like it. You can eat for six straight hours if it pleases you. The effect of the medication lasts for several hours, after all. Marta > > Thanks and LOL. > > At first, I fixated on the six hour thing.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Point, point, Marta! I'm battling some acid here--and maybe a little band-related esophageal dysmotility ergo the Reglan--and it's making me nuts. I take my Prevacid (I tried to go along with the program) and it settles the acid thing down, but not for long enough. So I'm sitting here, with acids gurgling in my gut and esophagus, and it's always just a matter of time. Eventually, the purge...and then it's time to take the Reglan and plan a meal. But I hear I'm kinda fun to watch. Thanks again, Sue > > > > Thanks and LOL. > > > > At first, I fixated on the six hour thing. Then I fixated on the > half > > hour thing.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Welcome, Kel. I am also a bit older (63) and have some of the concerns you have. Let me tell you, none of those issues gets better with time. I have set target dates to get fit and healthy for myself at ages 50, 55, 60, and am now aiming for 65. DON'T BE LIKE ME!! Get it done this time! 's podcasts and book are helping me to get to the real issues that cause me to overeat and be under-active. So far, It's going pretty well. You will find excellent support here with no judgement and tons of compassion!! Marcia  ________________________________ To: insideoutweightloss Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2012 4:19 AM Subject: Greetings  Hi All -- Being over weight and in my 50's . I find its time to look at whats ahead of me. Do I really want to continue with sore knees, feet and the fear every time i get indigestion its a heart attack? No I don't , working in the health care industry I see the terrible diseases that people suffer for no apparent reason. Let alone being like me and a time bomb encouraging disease to come on down. Having tried most diets known to man and I will be honest some have given me great results [upto 22kg] but the weight comes back with vengeance. So I find myself at the 100kg mark and think there has to be more to weight loss and surely its a mind body combo. So I have started working my way thru Full Filled. It makes senses to me so far. More so than other weight loss programmes have. So greeting and nice to meet you my fellow full fillers Kel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
