Woke up with pain this AM



Recommended Posts

Ok fellow sleevers. I woke up this morning with some pain. I haven't had pain since day 5. I am post op day 11. The NUT told me full liquids again this week but my surgeon said eggs and tuna and mashed potatoes. Yesterday I ate a Protein Shake in the morning. Then had 5 bites of tilapia, mashed potatoes and mashed squash (all together 5 bites not 5 bites each). Then for dinner I had refried Beans and shredded cheese (5 bites). Everything was tolerated well and I just woke up with pain. Do you think it could be that I just over did it with food? Or do you think I could have a leak? No fever or chills, was a bit dizzy this morning but ok now. Maybe I slept in a weird position?Should I call my surgeon?

Hi @@nessa259, i am assuming your already ruled out gas and your new hunger signs? Have you tried walking some this morning? If you feel the pain is unbearable you might want to give your surgeons office a call.

I think anytime you are concerned.. you should call. If for nothing else, peace of mind and suggestions.

I am anxious to see your progress. Stay calm... carry on :)

Congratulations on your commitment!

Blessings for a pain free day :)

Thanks all. I am still In a little pain but more like gas pain now so hopefully that is it. If not better by tomorrow I will call for sure.

Just spoke to the nurse at my surgeons office. The pain I have been feeling is more than likely the residual pain from where the lap band and port were removed. No fever no chills no nausea so she said it doesn't sound like a leak. Thank God!! ????????????????????????

Thanks for all of your support!!

      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.
