Help/ right side pain



Recommended Posts

I had surgery 6 days ago and have an annoying sharp pain on my right side. It hurts when I sit, stand breath... I have to be moving constantly to relieve pain but my body is tired from lack of sleep since the surgery. I struggle because no position is comfortable for me at bed time. Anyone experience this?

I don't know if you are having the same issue that I did. I had a back side pain too about 4-5 days in. I panicked and thought it was kidney stones. But, after talking with my doctor and getting up and moving around more I realized it was from laying down so much. Also, we tend to bend weird and not move as much because your stomach is sore now. Try moving around more or propping yourself up more instead of laying down in the same position and it should go away. Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback!

Ice, Ice, Ice!! I was having weird left sided pain and my surgeon said to ice it for 20 mins then rest for 20 mins - repeat. It worked wonders the next day the pain was completely gone.

They move a lot of things around in there when they do surgery and sometimes the scope they use can bruise things. Try the ice, you will be amazed at how better it feels.

I had left side pain but it was pretty bad starting day 5. After another 5 days it went away!

However I would check in with your surgeon

      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.
