OW! My Stomach Hurts Again! 3 Weeks Postop

I was finally feeling better. Now tonight my stomach is killing me. It hurts when I breathe in, and it's not stuck food (I don't think?) It's in my lower abdomen, like right above my belly button. It's not my port and I'm a little scared. Anyone know what this can be? I am still on mushies and had some asparagus and cream of mushroom Soup right when it happened (pureed).

it's probably trapped gas. i had so many stomach problems that i thought i had something seriously wrong. i even had a ct-scan but i have discovered it was trapped gas. i even went to the er once but it subsided b/4 i saw anyone. take gas-ex thin strips, they work better than anything else i've tried.

I would bet trapped gas as well. I had the same thing a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was my appendix, But the next morning I woke up (I slept on that side that night and gas rises so it moved to the upper side which made it the left side):thumbup:and the pain was on the opposite side, knew it was gas then. I paid for it. I chose to eat a "dove" chocoloate that day and the rest is history, not doing that again. Not sure why the chocolate had that affect. don't want it again any time soon. could have been the sugar that caused the gas.

If it does not get better, gets worse, is accompanied by fever and the best relief you get is to curl up fetal position, you need to have your appendix checked. This could be completely unrelated to your surgery.

I am 4 weeks post op and I am having some uncomfortable feelings in my stomach. Even around my lower ribs. I think some of it is gas. It almost feels like hunger pangs. GasX strips help ( my surgeon prohibits any kind of pill unless it is crushed). I even had to refill my liquid lortab prescription. It seems to be a little better. I am going to get a fill next week. I don't know if that will help or hurt.

      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?

      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.
