Unknown complication HELP



Recommended Posts

i am 11 days post gastric sleeve. Was healing good until it felt like I was being stabbed in my umbilical area extending into my right side with a hot poker. Dr told me it was nerve damage and gave me lidoderm Patches. I got noticeable relief yesterday but again today I cant Walk from the pain. Any one experience this and any suggestions. It's really emotionally getting me down :(

You need to go to the ER if you cannot walk. That's not normal.

Sorry I haven't posted. The pain in my stomach ended up definitely being pain from some nerve damage which is healing well with lidocaine Patches and pain medications Thank goodness!!!!!!! Another minor setback.......I ended up having to go to the er. After a day of extreme fatigue and body aches I spiked a fever of 102.5. :(. Luckily it ended up being a yucky urinary tract infection and dehydration. After some Iv antibiotics and fluids FINALLY today I've felt halfway normal. I think just all the minor things that have happened has definatley made me question my decision. I Say "minor" because things could have been so much worse. But I'm trying to stay positive and upbeat about my weightloss journey but right now it's just hard to see that positive outcome. Thank you all for checking on me :)

Now I am in search of ways to deal with the nasty mouth and NO appetite lol

      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.
