Still Hurting bad



Recommended Posts

Ok im going on my 4th week hunger is minimal no biggie im still on mushies ..Drinking good

My thing is i still have a lot of pain i have been walking but about an hour after i hurt soo bad feels like i just had surgery! also i have 2 incisions that are opened and oozing YES the dr has seen them and told me to put poroxide and sporn on them 3 times a day and i have but they arent getting any better! i go tomarrow for another look see. i dont work but i have a family of 7 kids 4 who live here the rest come and go on a daily baisis i never know who is here for dinner or laundry ! Keeping up this house has been very hard by 3 im so tired and i move so slow its falling apart in front of my eyes!

So i was wondering if any one else had felt this bad this far out??? Its hard to bend.. hard to get up out of a chair or bed and it feels like a hot knife is being poked into my insides!

Oh my goodness. I am really worried about you. I am certainly not an expert and do not want to cause alarm, but by the 4th week after surgery I couldn't even tell I had had one. Please please please be persitent with your doc and find out what is wrong. I am glad you are going back.

I send my best wishes. Let us know what happens.

It sounds as though you are doing waaaay too much. But if you have any specific pains, particularly around where you think the band is, be persistant with following-up with your doc.

I have a sedentary job and went back to work the 4th day after surgery, and went home each day feeling like I'd been run over by a truck. Once I got home I did NOTHING but lay on the couch. On the 5th day back to work I left after an hour - I just couldn't take it anymore.

The next week was better, but If I wasn't working I was doing NOTHING but laying on the couch for a good 2-3 weeks.

Make all those kids take care of you!!! Take it easy!!

Michelle,

Be persistent. I just read a thread a week ago on this. They should not be ooozing.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
