Super Achy Body In Third Week -- Is This Common?



Recommended Posts

I'm having a lot of pain in my back in the area of my kidneys. It's not a stabbing pain, more like I'm just really achy. I just want to go curl up in bed, but that doesn't seem to help either.

I know I'm staying hydrated, so it's not that, but would love to have some input on whether this is common at this point (close to three weeks out), and what I might do to relieve it.

Could it be kidney or gallstones? Please check with your doctor.

Sure it could be kidney stones especially if the pain is on one side but it could also be many other things. Like, if its on the right side it could be gall bladder.....or, on either side, could be a kidney infection......could just be gas or Constipation. Please call ur doctor.

I would call the doctor's office just in case...I also had an achy back, but is gone now...mine was from gas and laying down too much...I was very tired the second week and slept a lot.

Thanks folks. I'm out of town unfortunately and hoping it will go away by itself. If it gets worse, I'll go to the ER.

Talked to my physician and he thinks I might be constipated. Says take some Miralax and if ache is not better by Monday, to come in to the office.

Says if it was kidney stones, I'd have a different kind of pain and it would be more intense.

      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.
