Pain in front of stomach when walking?



Recommended Posts

Hi to all of you veterans!

I'm out 2.5 years from my surgery with no problems, other than gaining 20 pounds back. I had lost 80 and now it's 60. I have had a complete change of meds, due to a serious back problem and that's part of the gain, but the other part, I have earned and am trying to get back on the wagon.

My question is for you vets. A few days ago, I started to feel a sort of pain while walking? It almost feels like jiggling, but that things are loose, if you can picture that? I tried one day to wear about 4 pairs of underpants, some with control panels, to see if that felt better, and it did. Do you guys know if there is any medical problem related to this, via my surgery? I know I need to get into my Dr., but am wondering if something has come loose? Other than that, my appetite is normal, my restroom issues the same. Any ideas, or should I see my regular MD instead?

Gratefully yours!

Thank you, that's my instinct too. I now realize when I'm ready to "go", that it hurts to walk and kind of hurts until it's exactly the right time to go. Once I go, it's relief. (It;s to the worst pain in the world, for sure, but uncomfortable). Anybody???? Have you had that?????

Could be a hernia, but guessing can make you unnecessarily scared! I'd go to the doc and listen to your body's needs. Go gently! Good luck!

      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.
