Discomfort in the morning?



Recommended Posts

The day after my surgery at the hospital i had help getting in and out of bed. Now that im a home every morning i get up i seem to have pain at the left side of my port site, when i get out of bed. It does go away after i get up, but is that normal?

Not sure if it is normal but I had similar pain for the first couple of weeks - I was always quite sore in the morning and I figured that I had probably moved around in my sleep more than I realised. Took me a good 4-6 weeks before the pains stopped. Even now and then I get pains if I stretch too hard or do too much lifting. Overall though things are good and my doctor thinks everything is fine. Give it a bit of time - two weeks post op I felt quite normal again but it was a real effort up to that point.

I woke up sore every morning for about the first 2 weeks. I figured I had probably slept in a position that put pressure or strain on my surgical area. It did go away as I healed.

      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.
