Stomach pain 4.5 months out?



Recommended Posts

Hi- at 4.5 months out, I feel very lucky to have had literally no problems and i've lost 102 lbs... 3 days ago I started to notice some lower abdominal pressure that I thought was maybe a little Constipation. It has increased and my stomach is bloated, hard, and the pressure/pain kind of reminds me of how I felt in the first couple days post opp. Even moving around is uncomfortable...

Over the past few days ive gone back to soft foods, taken stool softeners, chia seed, flax seed, upped my Water intake to about 150oz a day... ive had a couple of bowel movements that have been painful... sorry if this Is TMI but I thought there might be someone else on here that has been through something similar?

I would call your doctor to be safe.

Yes 9 was out and I am having the Sam problems, I find that prune juice helps some as Almond milk. Sometimes don't even want to eat again I just drink lots of Water. I haven't done any walking so I figured that might be my problem.

Call your doctor. You could have a hernia. That happened to me at about same time post surgery. I waited and waited and ended up in emergency surgery.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
