Help! Turned wrong in my sleep.



Recommended Posts

I am 2 weeks out today and last night I turned wrong in my sleep and was yelling in pain. This morning I am really sore on my stomach and just don't feel good. I am hoping I just strained myself but has anyone had a tear at this point? I am worried I might have done something worse.

It took me a few weeks to be able to sleep comfortably in any position and be able to move around in bed without pain. If you are worried there is something seriously wrong, you should get in touch with your surgeon. Good luck to you!

If you think you've done any damage and it still hurts call your DR.

Always call the Dr. if you are concerned. Try putting pillows around your torso at night, in bed, to prevent you from turning so much. Prop them where you tend to turn. It might be enough to stop you from hurting yourself while you are healing. Worked for me! Oh, I am SUCH A PRO at this (I've had 22 surgeries!!!)!

Have you been to your two week check up? If it's not today or soon, call the doctor.

Thanks everyone! I laid back down for a while and got back up and was feeling much better. Definitely some serious soreness but it feels like just soreness now and not like something is wrong!

I'm 11 days post op and have been sleeping sitting up on the couch lol.. I can't even tolerate laying. It's like my stomach is so big it pulls every thing. I tried last night for the first time to lay in the bed, I did the same thing! I pulled some thing some where and it was not good! So now I'm staying back on the couch for a few more nights. I can't wait to be able to lay down!

I found getting in and out of bed horrible for the first week. I am 19 days post op and can sleep comfortably on my back or right side. The left side is still a no go. I find I prop myself with lots of pillows and that really helps. It will get better. If it's Sore and not just when you are sleeping then contact your surgeon. It will get better. A bit each day.

      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.
