Almost 3 weeks post op sudden pain.



Recommended Posts

About two hours ago I started feeling a dull throbbing pain below my big incision. I'm not sure if something is wrong or if it's just soreness from trying clean my apartment. Does this warrant a hospital visit, or should I just wait until I can make an appointment with my PCP since my surgeon is 200 miles away?

Can't you call your surgeon? I'm sure someone is on-call and can answer a question if you are really concerned.

I'm searching through my stuff for the on call number, but only finding the office staff info. I'll keep looking.

They said it's nothing to worry about, that it's totally normal, but goddamn it hurts.

That happened to me as well today. I did too much i went to the grocery store for a long time. Walked lots. It was a pain id never have felt before. I got home and relaxed and now its better.

We all were doing too much..just because we feel better outside we forget its still healing inside..I ran errands and wore myself out ..came home took some liquids, shower n propped my feet up and felt better instantly....I think that pain was a wake up to gradually get back to yourself but gradually????..hope you feel bweter soon..

      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.
