Another pulled muscle? Anyone else?



Recommended Posts

So I think I pulled another muscle. I'm almost 2 weeks post op and feel so fragile. After 3 weeks I pulled a muscle in my stomach. A few weeks after that I pulled a muscle in my back. Now I feel like I pulled a muscle in my side. One was from lifting too much and this new one I think was from exercising. I mean I'm assuming it's a pulled muscle. I have a pain in my left side. Ugh...anyone else?!

Omg...I just did the exact same thing too...pulled a muscle in my stomach on the left side. I'm thinking pulled muscle as well....it just feels like a muscle pain and I'm fine otherwise. I pulled mine when I bent down fast to try and stop something from hitting the floor, and I felt a "pull" and it really hurt for a second. I've got a heating pack on it right now

I'm hoping I'll feel better tomorrow. And I hope you'll feel better too!!

Back muscles just suck to pull...very painful!!

Dayum..........I feel for ya.

And yes....I felt some of the same pains.

Hell......at almost 5 months out......I still feel some oddball pains.

One could safely say that this dude's life is full of random oddball pains.

Some of are my own doing.....trying to be a superhero in the gym or elsewhere....these are what I consider "good" pains. I caused them....I can pinpoint how they happened.....all is good. All will be well.

Some, though, are the random pains that leave me scratching my head and going, "WTF?". I am so not joking. I frequently scratch my head and ask myself that very question.

I mean at first I got nervous and thought ...oh snap my stomach is exploding haha. But I'm sure that's just my anxiety talking. I just feel so fragile! I didn't do that much exercise. Literally 10 minutes...

      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.
