3 days out and hurting ?



Recommended Posts

Hey guys, this is day 3 for me and I'm in a significant amount of pain. Also having a hard time drinking anything because of reflux. Is this normal?

Have you called your surgeon? They can address this with medication.

Incision site pain, drain site pain, shoulder pain, abdominal pain? May be gas, normal healing, overexertion ...

Figure out where it hurts most and that me give you clues to help when you speak to your doctor

Marina, I totally understand what your feeling. I am 5 days post op and am having significant pain, fullness(bloaty), and am also unable to really drink anything. I am hoping this subsides soon. dehydration is my main concern.

Day 3 is the worst. Every day from here on out will hopefully get better. I was where you are now, and felt like it was a mistake. I’m in my third week postop now, and aside from the diet, I feel great. It gets better.

Everything is accurate except I don't have a drain.

I had pain at three days post op. I still have a small area of discomfort after two weeks where my largest incision is.

Are you taking a med for the reflux?

      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.
