Pain just over 2 weeks out



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I see people posting they had no pain meds after they left the hospital etc.. I am just over two weeks out and still have pain on my right side that seems to go around to my back. I do know this is by the incision where my stomach was removed. Has anyone else still had pain at this point? So tired of hearing everyone leaving the hospital pain free.

Ask yourself were is your pain between 1 and 10. If its a 6 or 7 you might still need pain killers if its below that get over it.

I had pain on my right side too that has to do with them holding your liver up for a time and the incision too. It is bruised so it will take time to heal.. I am 2 weeks out and have minor pain on the right still.. I was prescribed tylenol with codeine

Sherb I stayed on Tylenol with codeine for 5 days at home then tossed it and dealt. Occasionally had pain in my back. The np at doc said that the pain radiates from my tummy to my back if I was overrating. We nailed it down to the pain occurring around times I "ate". Eating being a relative word that 2nd week. I was on purées and it happened more with sense Protein than anythingn else. I didn't have any pain with yogurt or cottage cheese. It was purée Proteins that did it.

Monitor when you get it. Write it down. If it's constant call surgeon. You could develop a hernia at incision sites as well. Could be gallbladder depending on where pain starts

Just monitor write it down with what the potential causes are - and have a discussion with doc Monday am

I guess my husband and I were the lucky ones with no pain at home one day after the sleeve. Just always remember when in doubt call your doctor, do not ask non-medically trained friends here. I have seen thousands of posts where people had to be urged to go to the ER. Good luck and feel better.

      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.
