Unusual Discomfort



Recommended Posts

I'm noticing that there had been this pain that Ive gotten over the past three days where I feel tightness in my back on my left side.. Not sure if it's gas cause it doesn't move around. Had anyone experienced something like this?

Could it be a gall stone attack? When i had them it felt like a belt of pain radiating from the right-side. At the worst the pain came like contractions. This luckliy happened to me pre-op so the surgeon removed it while doing my op!

I would recommend that you Call your doctor whatever....

Feel good

Sounds like either gas or gall bladder. My gallbladder pain was right under my breast in front center. The gas plain was in my shoulders. I would call your doctor to be on the safe side.

When was your last bm? I had the same pain on my left side and after I had a bm the pain went away.

Actually, it hadn't happened at all today. I'm thinking it could be gas but it's so uncomfortable and I know nothing about gallstones... Could you feel them all over?

If you think it's gas pick up some gas x stripes. Gall stones I believe the pain would be on the right side. It's probably gas or you need a bm.

      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.
