Gut Pain/Back Pain



Recommended Posts

This is a little embarrassing but here goes....I have been doing two Protein Shakes a day for the past two weeks. I put one scoop of Unjury unflavored Protein Powder, 8 oz. Hood Calorie Countdown Fat Free Milk Beverage, and 1 scoop No Sugar Added Nesquick Powder....what a mouthful. For the past three days I have had very loose stools, which has been okay because from the moment I became overweight I have had a problem with Constipation. But, Last night I started having the most incredible gut pain....When I would go to the restroom, it would hurt just to sit down, almost like in the pelvic bones. Today I have had incredible back pain. I dont know if its because of the Protein Shake I have added or something else.

I remember a couple of years ago, having to go to the ER for similar pain, and had a cat scan of my abdomen and it was decided I had a lot of stool to get rid of. Also, I had a colonoscopy a couple of years ago and it didnt show anything. Could it be a gut problem, a gas problem, the shakes, or something more serious.

The pain seems to be radiating from my pelvic bone all the way to my side and back.

Anyone else had a similar problem?

Hey White06 how are you doing? Did you find out about the pain. Gallbladder pain comes and goes depending on the fatty or gassy foods I would eat. I had mine taken out several years go.

I went to the doctor and he thinks Im just constipated. He just didnt get excited at all. If I have a fecal impaction, how do I fix it? After reading the research it sounds like I am a total text book case.

Let me know what you think??????????

      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.
