Need some good diagnosticians since I cant call the dr TIL tomorrow. I have a sharp pain on left side when I move. If my naval were 12 o'clock then my pain is about 9:45 or 10.

I was sleeved on 6-18. I am on Protein Drinks, clear or creamy Soups, and puréed soft fruit and veggies. I am not nauseated, and I don't hurt where my sleeve is. Not really sure where it is. I sip and eat so slowly.

Yesterday I cleaned my kitchen really well. Lots of bending over, twisting. Lifted drinks into fridge.

Anyway have ice on it. But when I move around it really hurts. Pulled muscle? Taking Tylenol.

Thanks for your ideas.

Sorry youre in pain but Maybe you over exerted yourself. The papers I got from my Dr. Said light housework could be resumed after 3-4 weeks. Sounds like you did alot more than light housework. Try some pain killers maybe you did pull muscle oratbe you're just sore. Hope you get better though

Same thing happened to me, plus I caught a virus going to the movies week before last....I went to the doc he told me I was doing too much and need to take it easy before I end up back in the hospital (I dont want to go back) he gave me a script for celebrex and a anti-inflamatory last thursday....I took them and rested the last couple of days, and today was the first day I didnt need them....

SO I've learned my lesson, I'm not doing too much too soon anymore

I just posted a similar post today about the sharp pain on the left side, turned out that it was my obstructed gall bladder on my right side but I was only feeling the pain on the left. Had my gall bladder removed 5 days ago and the pain on the left is gone.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
