7 days post-op Crampy feeling mid tummy



Recommended Posts

Hi all

I am 7 days post op and feeling pretty good.

I did notice yesterday that I am getting this crampy feeling sort of between my

ribs and a bit on the right under my ribcage, and it extends down towards my belly button.

I'm not running a temp or anything, i took a walk this morning to see if it was

gas, but its still there. Bearable but worrisome.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

LIsa

I had a ache on my lower right side at about the same point. It hurt when I coughed. But it didn't get worse, no temp, and it went away after about a week. I was sleeping a lot on my right side and I wondered if the muscles were just complaining.

the same happened to me, and at times it hurt pretty bad but it did go away. I think thats where the camera was and they were moving it all around in there.

I'm now 8 days out but had the very same feeling! Yesterday, I woke up and it was gone but I had started moving around a lot more (took more walks and went to Target yeah!!!). I think it was just that darn gas.

Hope you feel well soon!

Lovingly,

Early aches and pains-there's healing going on inside. Just be aware but calm. Be sure not to lift anything over 15lbs for a while and be gental even lightly massage your aches and pains...plenty of walking, arm stretching, and do follow the guidlines for food and liquid consumption. If of course pain increases contact your surgeon. Best wishes and take it one day at a time.

So..thereupon is the source of most of my worries..danged doctors, what are they

thinking sometimes?!?!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
