Woke up with pain & discomfort



Recommended Posts

I'm in my first day of puréed and I ended up trying to puree in my mouth. That didn't work.

During dinner had pain in my back that was strange. Woken up at 5:30 am with pain and general discomfort. Something between nerves and upset stomach.

Just ate some of cream wheat to see if it was just hunger pain but the pain hasn't really subsided.

How long do I wait before calling the doc? Is this normal?

I was sleeved 7/17/17

I'd call before the weekend anyway, especially if it's not better.

I'm obviously not a doctor, but you saying the pain was in your back makes me think of gall bladder, which we all know is one of the potential problems with rapid weight loss.

The fact that it started shortly after starting purée though may indicate a different problem. It could even be GERD manifesting in a slightly different way.

This soon out, there's probably no good way to know for sure without taking to your doctor.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        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!
