sharp pain @ big incision first time today



Recommended Posts

7 days post op. This afternoon I sat down and felt this major pain @ the biggest incision area. I stopped, breathed and it went away. Now tonight I felt it again, froze, breathed and decided to put my binder back on. I'm thinking I'm overdoing things (have to drive this soon. & take care of my kids) or maybe I ate too much or too fast @ lunch? First day on pureed foods. So maybe I overate. But, tonight I'm having my kids help me more even tho only 5 and six. Anybody else have a big pain @ biggest inciison? Maybe its just the incision itself? Kind of scares me.

PS: the more I think about the pain, I think its just that pain from my incision. I haven't been able to take any pain medication due to having to drive my kids. I just took some pain medicine since we are in for the evening. binder back on. Hopefully I can sleep and be okay. My surgery was just a week ago. Biggest incision has always been the most painful. If pain comes back, I will go see Dr. Thanks.

Are you taking liquid Tylenol? I only had perscription pain meds in the hospital. At home I took liquid Tylenol every 4 hours for probably a week to stay ahead of the pain.

I was banded on 2/7 and only today, the area directly under the big incision is hurting quite a bit. the area doesn't look inflammed but it feels that way. Normal?

      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.
