VeeJay 13 Posted June 15, 2023 17 hours ago, AmandaD. said: Does anyone still have sharp pain from any of their incisions a week post op? Debating whether or not I should call (again) to be seen… my right incision has been killing me since surgery. I figured it was just a post op normal but I am a week out from post op and the pain has not weakened at all. If I am not on pain killers (Hydrocodone) I can’t even sit on the couch comfortably or walk… the right incision is so painful and when feeling it it’s pushed into my body (like dips into it, doesn’t lie flat) just wondering if anyone has this as well or if I should contact surgeon. Erm......same. the right side. But I'm on dope so I can imagine your pain. Also my freaking shoulder hurts. I mean call if you feel it's too bad. But I've been told it's early and pain happens for at least four weeks. I did notice more Protein intake helped me a little. I have a three year old though and my partners job don't give a flying fxxx about my pain so I had to act like I'm not dead inside 🙄😠. Call the clinic though love. At least get some pain meds that's their job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a week (8 days, 10 counting before my surgery )post op. So I've been on liquid for the same amount of time. You're going to do fine. Focus more on the life change aspects. Easier said than done ik. But all this coming from a ex food addict. 🫂❤️❤️❤️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surgery was 6/7. I'm not going to lie, it does suck. I've eaten a tiny amont of soft foods that are in my next stage coming up next week, but trying not to push it too much. Let me tell you though, that tiny tiny portion of mashed potatoes was fantastic, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

£€@h 36 Posted June 15, 2023 Hello! I haven’t been on here for a few days, I went back to work and everything was good. Then Tuesday night I had some sharp stabbing pain in my side. Woke up took my multi Vitamin and about threw up and then had blood in my poo. I called the doc and got seen. Turns out those Multi Vitamins need to be taken with something coating your stomach, I have a kidney stone and a hemorrhoid. People, people. Take the stool softeners, drink your Water. 🤦🏾♀️ Other than that I’ve been good. I’m no longer crying when I make the family’s food, (I might still lick their food😏). I haven’t had a moment to catch up on everyone’s messages but I hope y’all alright! stay hydrated friends Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jjohnson1971 17 Posted June 15, 2023 So I had my surgery on Monday (3 days ago) and I have like no real pain. I totally had planned for this to be worse. Im sure it is different for everyone but have other people felt this way? Like right now i can pretty much do everything I did before the surgery. Im intentionally not lifting anything over 10 pounds but outside of that im still cleaning house and walking miles every day. Yesterday I did it twice. Anyone else have this happen? 1 Brandiwine77 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maggie rose 9 Posted June 15, 2023 Hi everyone thank you for checking on me! It means and has meant the world to me! How is everyone feeling! Question and I know a lot of people might judge so please only non judgmental answers … did anyone start smoking or vaping right after surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
