Six months out and pain in right side about a level 7



Recommended Posts

First off i think i screwed up i ate some coleslaw that had poppy seeds in it (did not notice actually my husband saw them first) and have been feeling pain since. if i am laying down i'm ok and if i dont eat anything the pain is not as bad maybe a 3 or 4 but if i eat it seems to increase to a 6 or 7 and i notice i am holding my right side below my ribs but above my bellybuttom. it has been three days i dont want to be a big baby about it and my surgeon is three hours away so i was hoping it would just pass...what do you guys think can poppy seeds cause this? should i just go a few more days and see how it goes maybe just stick to protien drinks to see if it eases up? thanks in advace.

Gallbladder? Your PCP or hospital can check. If pain is at a 7, I wouldn't wait for a few days.

Gallbladder pain won't go away with repositioning. Does it come and go? Or is it always hurting? That is the right area for the pain to be, as well as the fact that it gets stronger when you eat. Sounds like its time to get in to see the doc...better safe then sorry.

My gallbladder pain came and went. It hurt more after a meal with high fat. After about 30-45 minutes it wouldn't hurt as bad and was in the same place you are describing.

I had the exact same thing! I had a contact dull sensation in my right upper quadrant. I had a few episodes of severe pain. I went and got a hida scan and an ultrasound yesterday and wouldn't ya know, lots of stones and blockage! The ct in the er only showed sludge. Call ur surgeon and get an ultra sound.

      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.
