Tips For Pain??



Recommended Posts

Hello! So I got home from the hospital yesterday (luckily, they discharged me and I didn't have to stay overnight--score!) but I woke up this morning much more sore than yesterday. It almost feels like I've done sit ups for like 8 years straight...I was wondering if anybody had any tips for releiving the soreness? I've taken my pain killer and haven't really given it a chance to kick in yet but if there's anything extra I can do, please let me know! Thank you!

You're going to have pain (maybe a week or so).

For gas, gas-x strips (it doesn't really work well, but I guess it does something).

For pain, Tylenol liquid. Again, doesn't work well, but it's something.

And remember, in a week or so you'll feel better.

for gas pains, walk, walk, walk as much as you can do and don't forget about the gas-x that's what helped me.

When I wanted to rest, I would heat a towel in the microwave for 1 min and lay that over my belly and it would soothe the soreness and allow me to rest well. I hate pain killers so I never too the perscription. Gel packs also work well, you can get them in medical stores or Walmart, you can heat them per directions and lay that over the area. It really helped me.

      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! 😞
