Normal To Have More Pain 12 Days After Surgery?



Recommended Posts

I woke up this morning with lots of pain on my left side, much more than I have had since first having surgery. I thought I was getting a little bit better everyday until whammy this happened and it feels like I'm back to day one or two. I had surgery 5/4/12, so it's been 12 days.

Is this normal or has anyone else had this happen?

Two things I did different yesterday..... a lot more walking (went to the movies in the mall and it was a long walk) and started Prilosec for bad reflux.

Any info you might have or experienced would really help, I'm kinda freaking that I did something to myself. Isn't it past the time leaks and things happen?

Yes, I had pain almost 2 weeks out when I overdid it one day. If you use pain meds and cannot bring it below a 6 or so, go to the ER. Better safe than sorry.

I too found I had pain in my side when I walked alot kinda like when u run and get pain in the side. Also by then I stopped reg. pain meds just took tylenol so it allowed pain to come thru more. But like jr.guru better to be safe than sorry. Hope u feel better soon.

I was sleeved 4/24/12 & had more pain after I started sleeping in bed last Saturday night. I slept in the recliner for weeks & it killed my hip. I started walking harder/faster & that hurt my left side more too & just felt more sore all over. We still need to take it easy. Good luck!! : )

Thanks so much for your help. Relating your experiences makes me feel so much better..... I must have done too much yesterday. It still hurts like a mother, so I'm babying myself until it goes away.

Eventhough it was good...... at this point I'm not sure going to see "The Avengers" was such a good idea...... although during the movie I was feeling pretty good looking at all that beefcake. LOL

      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.
