Sore or something more serious?



Recommended Posts

I am 25 days out. I am on soft/pureed foods. I have had zero food aversions or issues since leaving the hospital. (At hospital all I had was severe migraines)

My incisions are all closed and healed up quite well.

I am averaging 67g of Protein and 64 oz of liquid (22oz is Protein shakes) I walk 1-2.5 miles per day.

I stalled at 9 days post op and I have only lost 8lbs since surgery.

Today I woke up, decided to meal prep egg salad and ricotta bake. While doing so I ate two slices of pepperoni. (Had this before, remember NO food aversions) Within 2 mins I felt nauseous as heck. I couldn't even think about eating the egg salad. I decided to drink a shake instead and wait for it to pass. It subsided a bit.

Time to eat again, so I ate. No issues. HOWEVER, all day my entire stomach area - not just one area, but everywhere has felt SORE. Like a pulled muscle or I worked out too much. I have no other pains/issues. I spoke to the on-call dr, he isn't worried. ????

An hour after speaking to him I began to feel nauseous again. It passed. I'm eating now with no issues. Except this very sore belly that is worrying me. I haven't worked out beyond walking. I'm not sure what's going on but I do not like it one bit.

I am 2.5 hours away from the hospital that I had surgery at.

Any ideas, advice, experience, help?

Sometimes if I vomit my stomach feels sore too. I also can't eat much afterward. Document everything in case you need to be seen by your DR. I would let them know again if it keeps on happening. If it keeps on maybe drop back to fluids for awhile to see if it helps. I am by no means a DR. so keep in touch with yours. Good Luck

      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.
