Pain After Sleeping On Side...



Recommended Posts

So I have been sleeping on my back so my belly would heal. Last night I slept on my side. Today now I have a soreness on my left side by my belly button sorta. Is that normal? Like my muscle pulling or something. I have my first follow up appointment since my surgery tomorrow but I just wanted to see if anyone knew why this is happening. My surgery was November 2nd 2012!

I did the same thing yesterday and I think I pulled everything because I only had one incision on my left side that was bruised but when I woke up yesterday I had dark bruises around all my incisions I learned my lesson

Its normal, I was sleeping on my side a few days after surgery, in the morning I was in a lot of pain, but I noticed the more I walked the better I felt. After they removed my drain, which was a week after surgery I was sleeping on my stomach.... it gets better as days go bye.

I talked to my doctors today and they said that was normal. When they cut into you there is a muscle deep down that will be a pain to heal!

      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.
