7 days post-op Crampy feeling mid tummy



Recommended Posts

Hi all

I am 7 days post op and feeling pretty good.

I did notice yesterday that I am getting this crampy feeling sort of between my

ribs and a bit on the right under my ribcage, and it extends down towards my belly button.

I'm not running a temp or anything, i took a walk this morning to see if it was

gas, but its still there. Bearable but worrisome.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

LIsa

I had a ache on my lower right side at about the same point. It hurt when I coughed. But it didn't get worse, no temp, and it went away after about a week. I was sleeping a lot on my right side and I wondered if the muscles were just complaining.

the same happened to me, and at times it hurt pretty bad but it did go away. I think thats where the camera was and they were moving it all around in there.

I'm now 8 days out but had the very same feeling! Yesterday, I woke up and it was gone but I had started moving around a lot more (took more walks and went to Target yeah!!!). I think it was just that darn gas.

Hope you feel well soon!

Lovingly,

Early aches and pains-there's healing going on inside. Just be aware but calm. Be sure not to lift anything over 15lbs for a while and be gental even lightly massage your aches and pains...plenty of walking, arm stretching, and do follow the guidlines for food and liquid consumption. If of course pain increases contact your surgeon. Best wishes and take it one day at a time.

      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.
