I Wake Up With My Stomach Hurting



Recommended Posts

Is it normal 3 weeks out to wake up each morning with stomach pain. Not gas it's a dull to sometimes intense pain after I'm up and moving for an hour or so it disappears. Normal?

Is this at the incision sites, or is it deeper, like where your stomach is?

The fact that it goes away is a pretty good sign. It's likely that you sleep in an awkward position, or maybe you toss & turn a lot which creates extra stress on your incisions.

But with some of the complications we've seen lately, from twisted stomachs to leaks that caused some miserable experiences I do have to say, if this is not distinguishable as incision pain go see your doctor. And if they seem dismissive, don't hesitate to get a second opinion.

It could be scar tissue below the incisions. This bothered me for about 3 weeks.

I'm having it too, Its like a dull aching, especially when I breathe in deep. I think maybe it's just still a little swollen. I was wondering if I was filling it up too much with mushies and it was stretching and sore. I am really paranoid about that right now because I can't tell when I'm full until I am stuffed. I know, I know I'm still working on the signals. It also seems to hurt more (or maybe again its subconcious) when I seem to sleep on the side my stomach is. Hoping its just still soreness from surgery.

      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.
