Anyone Know?



Recommended Posts

I have been having pain in my left side (this is day 2). It's like when you walk or run alot and you get a catch. When I sit up straight it pulls. It is so sore, was wondering if anyone knew what the heck it is. I'm eating fine, and plumbing works, just constant "catch" in my left side. Really bothering me. Thanks in advance.

I am 2nd day post op as well. I think it is gas. I am having the same 'stitch' on my left side. I just took some gasex and am hoping that will help. Otherwise, I am feeling pretty good. :w00t:

Yep, left side, particularly the shoulder area seems to be a biggie. They say it's from the gas but damn does it hurt. Mine would be in the shoulder, near my port (left side waist area) and in the middle back on the left side. It seemed to take a couple weeks to go away but I wasn't able to rest the way I should. Try walking a bit, it seemed to help me.

Yeah that gas pain was bad. I am a little over 3 weeks post op and may have tried too much exercise too soon. I walk 3 miles almost everyday, and have even jogged a little. Maybe I just strained my muscles there, i dunno but it sure hurts. Gonna call doc monday i guess.

      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.
