Pain swelling so much pain



Recommended Posts

Where is the pain? I was in severe pain the first 24-48 hours after surgery but it subsided.. then if I ate more than 2 oz I would get the same sharp pain. My surgery was 8 months ago and now if I don’t stop I get pain. I really don’t mind because it is my body saying “ok you have had enough “. After a surgery like this it is very important to listen to your body I hope you feel better soon

I was given IV pain killers for the first 48hrs think it was fentanyl; I slept so much 😀

You just had surgery, it'll all get better within 2-3 days. You're in the hospital, the're giving you pain medication, it'll all be fine. Just hang in there.

Danny, did you have complications? I think that you had surgery several days ago?

Like the others have said it will get better quickly. Some people have severe pain and some none at all.

Hang in there!

Gas pain can be extreme right after surgery. Are you trying to walk?

      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.
