Still Hurting bad



Recommended Posts

Ok im going on my 4th week hunger is minimal no biggie im still on mushies ..Drinking good

My thing is i still have a lot of pain i have been walking but about an hour after i hurt soo bad feels like i just had surgery! also i have 2 incisions that are opened and oozing YES the dr has seen them and told me to put poroxide and sporn on them 3 times a day and i have but they arent getting any better! i go tomarrow for another look see. i dont work but i have a family of 7 kids 4 who live here the rest come and go on a daily baisis i never know who is here for dinner or laundry ! Keeping up this house has been very hard by 3 im so tired and i move so slow its falling apart in front of my eyes!

So i was wondering if any one else had felt this bad this far out??? Its hard to bend.. hard to get up out of a chair or bed and it feels like a hot knife is being poked into my insides!

Oh my goodness. I am really worried about you. I am certainly not an expert and do not want to cause alarm, but by the 4th week after surgery I couldn't even tell I had had one. Please please please be persitent with your doc and find out what is wrong. I am glad you are going back.

I send my best wishes. Let us know what happens.

It sounds as though you are doing waaaay too much. But if you have any specific pains, particularly around where you think the band is, be persistant with following-up with your doc.

I have a sedentary job and went back to work the 4th day after surgery, and went home each day feeling like I'd been run over by a truck. Once I got home I did NOTHING but lay on the couch. On the 5th day back to work I left after an hour - I just couldn't take it anymore.

The next week was better, but If I wasn't working I was doing NOTHING but laying on the couch for a good 2-3 weeks.

Make all those kids take care of you!!! Take it easy!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
