Pain on left side- what is it?



Recommended Posts

I'm three months post op and have been having a pain on my left side. It feels just like after you exercise (walk/run really hard) and your side hurts.

Does anyone know what this pain is? It just started this last week. If I lean to my right it makes it feel better. Weird, huh? TIA!

Andrea-

I am 7 weeks post op and have had the same kind of pain on my right side. (my port is on left) My pain falls between the two trokar scars. Feels just like a strong stitch in the side as when exercising. I had my fill last Wed and mentioned it to my Doc. He said it was likely muscle pain in the healing of that area. I see him again next week. Hopefully, by then it won't hurt anymore.

A casual thought, if leaning to the right helps, do it! Do some stretching where you lean slowly to the right and hold it. I felt kind of the same thing and I think I was babying the side where my port is and overworked the other side.

      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.
