Pain after surgery



Recommended Posts

That depends on you and varies person to person. I didn't have any post-op pain, just soreness. Others a few day, some a few weeks. One thing I know for sure is each day it gets better.

I'm only 1 day ahead of you and I have some pain leftover but for the most part it's pain that I cause by drinking too quickly or too much. Tylenol works great and for me causes less nasuea than some of the other stuff. Things get better each day as long as we treat ourselves right..

best wishes..

Third day after any surgery always seems to be the worst. I recall things getting much better after day 5. Take your pain med. No need to be a hero. :D If you feel like it is anything unusual, call your dr. There is always someone on call.

      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.
