After Surgery Pain



Recommended Posts

Do not want to discourage anyone, but I am in so much pain.

Surgery was yesterday. Gas pains and stomache pains are horrible.

And a little nausea too.

Doctor and friends were totally pouring sugar on the details.

The first few days were REALLY rough. I was banded on 3/16 I would say day 8 and 9 have been my best. I also had a hernia repair. Take your pain meds as prescribed, drink all Water @ room temp (helps w/ gas) walk, walk, walk,.....my port site still is very tender. You will get a little bit better each day. Hope you feel better soon.

I do feel better this morning. I have no regrets about having it done. Just did not realize this would hurt so darn bad.

I have had surgery before but it was lower. Still have a wave of pain that starts at my belly button and ends at my shoulders.

I pray that I do not slip my band with getting sick.

Can not wait til my "skinny" jeans become my fat jeans.

Now, my hubby took off til Tuesday. So between you, me and everyone else on this site.....I will milk it for another day.

Shhhhhhuuuuuusssshhhhh! Please?

      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.
