pain in stomach



Recommended Posts

i am not sure where to post this, so if this isnt right, i apologize now.

that being said....

last weekend i was really stressed out because my dh is a complete idiot. anyways, i couldnt eat a thing, nothign solid. so for prolly 4 days i didnt. mind you, i tried a bite or two each day but wound up pb'ing or just out and out vomitting. i was throwing up so bad! i really didnt think it was possible any more, and it was different then before band vomitting, very noisy and just nasty. i was throwing up yellow foam--stomach acid. it was horrible.

ok, back on track...so now my stomach really hurts around the port. it is super tender...even my jeans being done up can make it ache. i figure i probably just pulled it from the retching, right? if i caused a slip or something like that, it would be a different pain? the port is stitched in and all the heaving and stuff prolly just pulled it and its tender? i dont know... maybe i should call the doctor. only its saturday and they arent open.... hmmm, this sucks.

If you are able to drink liquids without barfing, you are ok to wait to call the doc on Monday. I just know that after 2 months, my port site is a little sore - esp when I wear jeans. Can you feel the surface of it when you lie on your back and tense your abd muscles? My guess, too, is it would be sore from retching...Good Luck! Don't let ole DH get you down for too long!

I would definitely go back to Clear Liquids for a couple of days until your stomach/esophagus is able to settle down. It may be enflamed and irritated from the retching. Call your doctor on Monday and let them know what is going on and that you aren't able to keep anything down.

      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.
