Sensation of Insides Moving



Recommended Posts

I'm six days post-op and have an uncomfortable sensation of my insides moving/readjusting near my sleeve when I get up or walk around. It hurts a little and makes me a tad nauseous, but it only lasts for about a few seconds.

Is this a normal sensation? I would love to hear your experience! I'm hoping this feeling goes away soon.

I felt that too, somewhat. Do you have an abdominal binder? I found that helped me.

The binder helps. Maybe I'll try making it a bit tighter. Thanks EmmyJ

I have that too. Just for a few moments when I get up and start to move around. For me I'm pretty sure it's a combination of gas and gravity pulling on my larger incision. Just one of the many things that will get better over time (I hope!).

I had a belly binder from my hysterectomy-it has been a blessing. I'm 4d post op with a vsg. I'm a side sleeper and I couldn't find it my first 2 days home. Found it today and it's allowed me to really be comfortable while napping.

it was a God send after my hysterectomy-and it's really allowing me to lay and sit comfortably after this surgery as well.

I did not feel my insides moving but I had a little nausea two days post op VSG from moving around. It would go away soon after laying down though. After my partial hysterectomy, with uterus gone and connective tissue cut, I could feel loose organs? moving around when I walked for a year.

      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.
