Three Days Out and I'm STILL sore!



Recommended Posts

I too had a hernia repair. I'm on day 11 and feeling a lot better but I still have a bloated feeling in my belly. Is this normal?

I also have tingling sensations in my left foot as if I have poor blood circulation...kinda scary! Has anyone experienced this?

What happens if you eat a little food? I am so hungry! :scared2:

i was sent home with liquid lortab and while i thought it wouldn't do much for me, it really does do something. i've also tried taking the adult liquid tylenol but i can't hardly bear the taste of it. it's horrible. i'd almost rather take children's liquid than the adult kind. i'm still swollen even though it's been four days and my incisions are itching like crazy!!!! oh... and someone mentioned taking motrin. i'm sure if your surgeon told you ok, then he probably knows what he's talking about. but both my surgeon and my gi doctor told me that taking drugs like motrin, advil (ibuprofen in general) and steriod meds by mouth can cause band erosion and they told me not to use anything but tylenol or the lortab. they also told me that that's why i have two small ulcers in my stomach because for years all i've used is ibuprofen (motrin, advil) or aleve and those drugs are known for causing ulcers. i had no idea before my upper gi pre op test. now i'm being super cautious and even trying to cut back on giving my kids ibuprofen!

Trust me, I wouldn't have taken it without the surgeon's permission!

I had my surgery on 3/5/10 and today is the 12th day. I am just now starting to feel like my old self. It is still a little sore to touch were the port is located but other than that I feel good. I would say the first week after surgery I was really sore and tired.

Today is my twelve day since I was banded and feeling a lot better. Has anyone has numbness or tingling in their feet? I have had this off and on since surgery.

I was taking childrens tylenol and by the 5th day, I could not take it anymore...it's gross! At this point I am not taking anything for pain.

As far as the bloating or swelling, when should it start going away?

Any feedback is appreciated. :cursing:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
