Not Feeling to Hot



Recommended Posts

Just curious if anyone has experience with this..

about 2 weeks ago I started having pains in my stomach, at first I thought they may be menstral pains but now that I'm actually paying attention to it, its not in the right spot to be that.

Basically I have some very uncomfortable pain on my left side, about 4-5 inches below where my incision is for my port. Its not port pain at all. its something else.. i have no idea what it could be.

It usually starts if I am in the wrong position but also if i suck my stomach in such as doing a sit up or something. I feel around and dont feel anything but that may just be because i dont feel it lol. it goes from my far side all the way to my belly button it stops at about the belly button range as far as how low the pain goes.

Its not like gas or anything like that i cant explain it.. its something different and new to me. when i take a deep breath it often hurts in the area.

shrug.. i dunno just seems weird and im going to get a fill tomorrow and i will talk to my surgeon about it but just curious if anyone has any experience with this.

      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.
