When do you feel no pain



Recommended Posts

Do you mean internally (stomach) or externally (incisions)? For me, my incision pain was completely gone at 3 weeks. Internally, I still feel pain at almost 9 weeks out. It definitely happens less but it's still there if I think too fast or eat certain things. I know it's hard but be patient. It'll get better soon!

What kind of pain? I am 3.5 mths out and didn't have pain other than muscle near biggest incision and that wasn't more than 6 days or so. You should not be having pain when eating or drinking.

I was in the hospital 8 hours and sent home with pain pills. I took one. I had no pain, I drove the next day, walked a mall in four days. I was 67. Please call your doctor, and trust your gut instinct. I also had a hernia repair.

It's normal. I'm four weeks out and still have internal pain ( large incision). It's less and less but I can't lift a laundry basket or my 3 yr old yet without feeling a sore dull aching pain. Not sharp like after surgery give about 6 weeks I have been tomd

I kind of had the same question. I'm a little over a week post op. I am not feeling any pain with incisions or anything but just this nagging pain in my abdomen. Does anyone experience this pain or know what it could be?

I also have been dealing with a pulling /burning pain in my lower left abdomen. No pain near incisions those are fine. I'm 2 weeks post open and that's the only thing holding me back.

I am going on 5 weeks post op and I would say that between 3 and 4 weeks I no longer felt any discomfort, including soreness. Hang in there! Honestly, unless I see my incision marks, I feel so "normal" again, it seems hard to believe I even had the surgery (besides getting full easier, which is a good thing, of course!).

      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.
