Pain following surgery



Recommended Posts

I had almost no pain at all, but people are all across the board when it comes to post-surgical pain. The fact you had hernia repair might be a factor, too...

I had no pain at all post-surgery and still none six weeks later. I guess I got lucky.

I had sleeve and hiatal hurnia procedures as well. I really didn't have any pain. I was off pain meds as soon as I came home from the hospital (2 days). I have never had any pain. It is so odd since I am such a big weenie. lol

6 days out. Still pain in stomach after eating or drinking but getting better. Stopped pain meds 48 hours after surgery. Walking and moving is a must!

I stopped all pain meds about 6-7 days post-op. I used my liquid hydrocodone until it ran out and then went to regular tylenol.

Warm liquids often work better than room temperature or cold things, don't know the trueness of my thought but I believe the darkness makes the knotted and brutalized muscles relax. That still works better for me at 5 months(nearly) out.

Stop it "auto correct" I tried to tell someone warmness, not darkness, if I could reach you I would strangle your" know more than Frystr8-ness " out of YOU📱

It's different for everyone. I was in extreme pain for the first 3 days, the moderate even with pain killers. I'm 2 weeks post op and I still have pain. Sometimes I fine, then I get sharp pains near my lower left incision. It helps when I massage the area and apply pressure. Good luck! I hope your pain doesn't last as long as mine.

You had staples? Where? My incisions were stitched on the inside and then just taped on the outside.

mine too, I kind of expected sutures myself but I guess my guy doesn't use them. Gosh he is such a cool laid-back guy but I'm sure he is relentless on the tennis court!

      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.
