Sore calves and my shin bones ache



Recommended Posts

Good ,morning!

Just curious if anyone else has suffered from severe shin bone pain and super sore calves? I am sure its just from being a little weak and loosing muscle strength, but just wanted to see if anyone has suffered these same things.

I know I mentioned yesterday about my incision site, but today it feels like if I put my hand over the spot they removed stomach from, it feel almost like there is a harden area under the skin.. anyone else have/had this? I site in not oozing or looking infected, it does seen swollen in that area, but its just under my left breast.. it sometimes feels like a knife is under the skin and is cutting through.. ouch it just hurts.

Did anyone also run a fever 6 days after surgery? It has been low,. like 99.5 or so, but just got a little nervous about it.

Have a great day everyone and thanks for the feedback!

If you have been exercising/walking it could be that you need to stretch before you do so. As far as your incision, I would contact the surgeon. Your temp is not that bad. But if you call your surgeon about what you are feeling in your abdomen, then I would mention the fever. Don't take chances, you've come too far...Good luck!

I was just sleeved on Thursday and I noticed to day that my calves are very sore. I also have ran a fever up to 99.9 since Friday, but it seems to be dropping a little back to normal today. The surgeon's office called to check on me on Friday and told me to contact them if the fever is higher than 100.5.

      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.
