1Wk Post Op-Severe Pain?
I was sleeved on 1/19 and have been concerned that I have been over doing it. When I got home on 1/21 everything was fine, there was no pain, I (thought) I was getting in all my water and doing everything on my own. Its like everything seemed to take a turn for the worse.
On Tuesday I started feeling severely dehydrated(my anxiety probably amped it up more) so I went to the ER to get fluid. I left there feeling back to normal. The next day I walked a mile and worked out for like 45 mins. I made a huge mistake in thinking since I could handle more water without any problems that it meant I could move to stage 2 of the diet, which is small cottage cheese size consistancy.
It wasnt until Thursday when I woke up and had SEVERE sharp stabbing abdomanal pain which would only get better if I applied tons of pressure. At first I blew it off thinking it was just a little pain from working out so hard yesterday and that I should not worry. I proceeded going about my day as normal and then pain increased drastically. I decided at that point to call the doctor and he reccomended going into the ER to get checked out.
When I got to the ER they did blood work and found my pancreas was inflamed but that was from surgery and not from an underlying issue. They were unable to pin point the problem of my pain because it didnt hurt at all unless I was using my stomache muscles (sitting, standing, walking...) So I was released with the orders to follow up with my MD on Monday. But that does not make any sence to me. They ruled out an abdom hernea, with the possiblity it could be a muscle tear. I dont get why I would have new pain a week post op.
Now I am at home unable to do the basic stuff due to the excrucating pain. I dont know what to do anymore. I contacted my doctors office and they stated the pain could be caused for eating the wrong consistancy (which I have since went back to the pureed diet). Has anyone experienced this before or is anyone going through this??
I am so frusterated because I cannot do anything. I am stuck in my house and cant even load the dishwasher or go for walks or anything. And to top everything off I weighed myself when I went to the hospital on Tuesday and thought I was doing AMAZING on my weight loss because I was down 18lbs since my surgery date and like amped myself up and all. Only to realize a few days later that it was wrong because I was so incredibly dehydrated which would make me weigh so much less. So now I am trying to reitterate to myself that I didnt gain weight but that it was an inacurate weigh-in... I am just going through a tough time right now... What the hell! its only been ONE WEEK!!!
