Questions regarding pain



Recommended Posts

Physician, heal thyself! You have a better bedside manner than most. I'll bet that in 2 months, it will be healed, but I hope it doesn't take that long.

Girl, you are too crazy! And I am right in there with you. I DO have a surgical blade!! I use it to cut off the callouses on my feet.

My husband freaks when he sees me using it. I don't know why.

I am a partially trained para professional.

I'm a para professional too, only paralegals don't use blades (at least I haven't heard that news story yet.)

You should buy a corn plane. They are specifically made for evenly slicing the callouses off your feet and leave the smooth as a baby's behind. Only you have to be dedicated for life, cause once you start, you can't stop... skin grows back worse each time.

I did the ugly deed last night and now my incision is a little sore.

Darcy - I have been thinking about you and wondering if you are still having problems? I know you said you felt better, but are you totally over the pain?

Hi Betty...

The pain is not completely gone but I am attributing that to giving in and eating things that seem to irritate my stomach. Unfortunately, I'm not the queen of controlling myself! Thanks so much for asking... and I'm sure that with time I'll feel 100%.

Nancy... I think I forgot to thank you for your further condensed version of my letter... I Loved it!

Now... I just need to start an exercise or walking challenge on the boards to get my butt moving again! We took another set of pictures to compare and I swear... I look exactly the same! Oh the curse of gaining weight evenly from head to toe!

TTFN

Delarla, that is so funny you say that. I told my husband last night that it seems like at night afterI eat dinner I have more gas then I have ever had in the last 4 months...I have been so uncomfortable the last 2 nights, with horrible gas pains and cramps..This has been going on now for atleast 3 days. Hmmm..maybe we both are dying :rolleyes:

Gas! How sad is this? I actually had to scout out the hospital where I work to find a bathroom that is at least semi-private. Meaning there aren't other stalls in there and there aren't people walking right past the bathroom door. It's still a little too public for my taste, but it's better than nothing.

Luckily my gas is normally just a bunch of hot air (laughing) with not much odor. The bad ones seem to come around that lovely special "feminine time." My husband says period farts are the worst! I keep a can of Apple Lysol at work just in case. Embarrassing, but I'd fart the alphabet if I could drop another 40 pounds!

      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.
