3 Days Post Op And Side Pain!



Recommended Posts

Did anyone else have side pain? I think its gas, not anything serious and I talked with dr office and they didnt seem too worried. I think I have read about this a few times on here but I'm a worry wart! Also, they gave me permission to switch to children's tylenol if I want but didnt tell me dosage- any ideas? I dont think i need full strength pain meds but just a little something to help. And lastly, dr office said I could boat this weekend just not lift anything or get incisions wet which is what I expected, does that sound right? My doctor seems to be very liberal compared to most, no pre op diet change whatsoever and really no other rules. Super excited to start losing.

Sitting in a boat in nice calm Water would be fine. Speeding across the water in a bumpy boat would be excruciating, I would think.

I'm thinking of not sitting up front and having fiancé take it easy just miss being out on Water and last year we had so much flooding in Sd we didn't get to go often! I totally agree being bounced around would be horrible- a lot depends on wind for how the water is I guess so hoping for. 5 to 10!

i had the side pain for about 10 days, it felt like a bad pulled muscle over the port on the left side. i was so bored after 2 days at home that i went and did some lite xmas shopping, i felt that good !. The fresh air and a little walking made all the difference. just take it realllllll slow and easy, including the boating and getting in and out of the boat, etc..... Have fun !

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
