4 Weeks out with sleeve pain



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Hoping to get some advice on this pain I'm feeling.

I was sleeved on 9/29 and last night I woke up with a stabbing pain in my sleeve. I get one every 30-40 seconds, it lasts about 3-5 seconds a piece. It happens whether I've eaten, whether I'm hungry, whether I'm moving or relaxing. I haven't eaten anything that differs from my surgeons "suggested menu" at this point. I ate a scrambled egg white this morning and then a couple bites of grilled chicken for lunch. I've been sipping on Protein shakes all day long. I don't know if this is something that's normal, happens to everyone or if this could possibly be a late perforation. I also feel nauseous but I've been consistently nauseous since my surgery so I'm not sure if that's any indication of anything or not. Please help. Any advice would be great.

TIA.

Can you contact your team and ask their advice. It would put your mind at rest.

Hope you feel better soon :)

I'm not sure with it being Sunday. I guess I could give it a go.

Thank you!

Someone should be on call... that doesn't sound very normal ...I just got sleeved Monday and not having that kind of pain... every one is different of course but sounds like your medical team needs to hear about that just in case

      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.
