I got a problem



Recommended Posts

I won't even be able to view the thread later, at least at home. But I need some ideas. I can check in later on my cell, so I'll look in. I can't post from there. But I'm wondering if anyone else has a similar problem.

I've had pressure on my right side, just under my rib cage, where the "trocor" was. (Not sure it's spelled right). If I moved right, it'd hurt. This morning I woke up with pain moving at 5 am. Have been up since. The area hurts when I breath, cough, pass gas, drink, and move. I have called my surgeon's office but no answer back yet (course it's been all of about 30 seconds). Probably a pulled muscle?

Oh I have at least put off Michael's surgery until later today because of it. Maybe even a few days later.

Teri, I hope everything is okay. A pulled muscle sounds good, but I am sure you know by now. It is good that you called the surgeon. That is what he is there for. And PAIN after this amount of time should Im sure be reported.

Let us know how you are doing. Take Care Debbie

Teri, I hope that you have seen or talked to the surgeon. Hopefully he has said everything is fine. Keep us posted when you can.

Just about a half an hour ago got my pc back. I'm ok, it was a pulled muscle. Told me to take my muscle relaxer, and rest for a couple days. If it improved to just continue resting (ya right) but if it didn't improve, to call them in two days. If at that point it continued or during that time got worse they'd put me in. Good news is it went away on it's own.

      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.
