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

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
