I have a huge question



Recommended Posts

I am 5 days post op. In general I am doing well. I am walking a lot .. Eating as I am supposed to. I am off pain meds except for an occasional dose of liquid Tylenol. Below my main incision inside I am having pain, not constant pain but mainly laying down and moving wrong. It's pretty much in just one area. It is the worst laying down and I am not getting much sleep. Have they cut the muscle there or something? I know this probably sounds dumb to ask but I am doing so well I don't want to just freak out over that. Have you all experienced this type of pain? And if so... How long did it go on? Advice pls!

I was pretty freaked when I had the same thing - thought I had done something to the incision. At my 2 week check-up my Dr said it was absolutely normal. It took a couple months for the pain to really go away. So don't freak out, just take good care of yourself. Looks like you are doing a great job so far!

Ya, I had that pain and my lower belly incision had a bit of bulge on it. I wondered if some doofus intern miscounted gauzes. It went away.

Thank for the info! The not sleeping and not being able to be comfortable is the only thing really getting me down. When was your surgery and how are you doing so far? :)

Thanks for the info.... Glad no one left gauze in you. That would be terrible :( how long ago was your surgery?

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
