Anyone else had this pain?



Recommended Posts

I had the most awful pain last night! I plan to talk to my Dr about it on Tuesday (my first fill), but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this and what it might be.

Last night I was a little hungry so I had a boiled egg, which I've done several times with no problems. Then I had to take my meds with a little bit pudding, as usual. I went to bed about an hour later, laid on my left side (my port and stomach side) for just a little bit and I started feeling pressure on my stomach. I rolled over onto my right side and I got the most awful pain! The worst of it was in the middle of my tummy, right below my sternum and in my back. I felt like my whole belly was full and I was either going to vomit or needed a really good burp. :sick I started walking and had a heating pad on my tummy, which helped. After about 10 minutes, it just all of a sudden went away and I was fine.

WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT? :D Was it a blockage some how? Was it because I laid on my left side? It was very scary, I can tell you that. Anyone else had this?

Actually I had it the night before I had my first fill. I was told that it was probably just a really bad case of gas. I had a lot of inservices during that week so I did nothing but sit on my butt all day and didn't have a whole lot of time to walk. It went away in a few days. I had a little issue with it this morning, but nothing like the first time it happened.

If I feel something like that I know I am restricted...that is how I feel when I am too full. But everyone is different.

I have found that just because I can eat one thing one day doesn't mean I can eat it the next day.....

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.
