7 days Post OP



Recommended Posts

I am 7 days post OP I had a hernia repaired and the sleeve done and I'm having issues with left shoulder pain which seems to be worst when I sip my liquids.

I also have a ,what feels like a gas bubble in my chest when I sip.

My doctor said he may need to scope me if it does not go away by tomorrow

SCOPE !?!?! I'm already in pain !

I've been told you have shoulder pain after abdominal surgery due to then putting air to fill your stomach up. I've had multiple abdominal surgeries and have encountered this pain. I,however, have not had the sleeve yet. Best wishes & I hope you feel better soon!

Yes, agreed that the shoulder pain in air (gas) that was pumped during the surgery. Passing gas and time will relieve it! I am 4 days post op so I am with y’all in solidarity! :) Hope everyone feels better asap!

Left shoulder pain is from the hernia repair. My surgeon warned me about this several times. I have not had an issue with it. I do still have gas pains and just hoping it will work itself out soon.

      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.
