Hey everyone! I'm a little over a week postop....the first day of my puréed diet went well but now not sure what I'm feeling...

For the first 4 day I was in TERRIBLE pain right under my biggest incision (which I hear is pretty normal). Day 5 was much improved and day 6 was basically pain free! This am when I woke up I was still basically pain free. My family and I decided to take the children in our family to the science center today. After about 3 hours, I noticed that I have this new pain....this time it's above my biggest incision :-/ No fever, no nausea, and my incisions are free from signs of infection....

Do you think I possibly over did it today? Has anyone else had a "new pain" arise after feeling basically great?

Perhaps!

You are doing way better than I was after surgery.

I didn't get out of the house except for small walks up and down my street.

I didn't get out and about until week three.

But I see people here who spring right back and go back to work after a few days.

Keep checking your temp and watch for other signs that may mean you need to be seen... Like racing heart or diarrhea those types of things

And it's always good to call your doctor for some guidance.

I called weekly :)

You have over did it. Do you have a binder to give you additional support? That helps alleviate the pain too. Sounds like your doing really good.... :)

If it persist I would definitely check in with your surgeon or your nurse practiioner. It will probably pass but i'm not an expert - be safe rather than sorry and just check in if it lingers on.

Sounds like you might have over did it. I imagine if that is the case it will pass in a few days. Hope your pain goes away soon. Best Wishes

      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.
