funny feeling in my belly



Recommended Posts

I have been having this feeling of something fluttering or moving on the middle left side of my belly. i am just scared because it happens when I go to sit, sometimes when i breathe, or when i walk. I have heard of the port flipping and I am just scared. Has this happened to anyone else or is this something I should ask the doc about. It's sat and i dont see him till wed im just scared.

Where is your port located? My port was stitched but somehow used to still move sometimes when I bend down, stood up, bend a certain way, if my jeans were pushing on it etc.

I used to be able to push down and move my port a bit too. This was a very strange moving or popping feeling. My doc checked it out and said it was nothing to worry about.

Maybe it is your port that you are feeling?

If it is just a light fluttering feeling it may just be Fluid moving through the stoma after you change positions.

Does it feel like percolation?

or it could be a muscle twitch... I get the ALL THE TIME now. I found I was "sucking in" a lot after surgery because it hurt my incisions to have my belly hanging down and pulling on them, so often when I would sit down and relax my stomach muscles they would just start twitching like mad. You could see and feel it sometimes. Mainly on the sides...

      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.
