How long does pain last



Recommended Posts

I had sleeve on March 11th and came home from hospital on March 12th. Today is the 14th. I'm frustrated about the pain around the left side incision site. It is very painful getting out of bed or out of chairs. I take pain meds but I havent had a BM yet. How long does the pain last.

The pain meds slow things down, not unusual to not have BM for awhile..ur not really eating! Can't help with the pain...I had very little, but I would think would resolve soon. Good luck!

The more you move the faster you heal. Your pain meds will also contribute to Constipation so may want to wean yourself off and walk walk walk. Good luck and welcome to the losers side of things :)

      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.
