It could be a kidney stone. I am a urology nurse and the dark urine can happen with a stone, also the type of pain your having. A stone should have showed up on CT but they don't always. Good luck and keep us posted. Hope you feel better soon.

I haven't had surgery and ALWAYS call the surgeons office FIRST. As a nurse and having c-sections that you don't want to lift or do too much too soon. It can cause adhesions like goo inside a pumpkin all stringy is the best way to describe them.

So 1) follow doctors orders on lifting

2) listen to your body

You took the time and energy to have this done so let your body heal.

Mine was on the 4th. I put dishes in the dishwasher and do light housework like dusting, wiping counters down. My discharge papers actually said no vacuuming.

Oh I am so sorry that you are getting the run around. You are right only you know your body. Do you still have a fever, vomiting or constipated?

Stand your ground girl!

      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.
