I Wake Up With My Stomach Hurting



Recommended Posts

Is it normal 3 weeks out to wake up each morning with stomach pain. Not gas it's a dull to sometimes intense pain after I'm up and moving for an hour or so it disappears. Normal?

Is this at the incision sites, or is it deeper, like where your stomach is?

The fact that it goes away is a pretty good sign. It's likely that you sleep in an awkward position, or maybe you toss & turn a lot which creates extra stress on your incisions.

But with some of the complications we've seen lately, from twisted stomachs to leaks that caused some miserable experiences I do have to say, if this is not distinguishable as incision pain go see your doctor. And if they seem dismissive, don't hesitate to get a second opinion.

It's not insisions it is deeper inside. I to toss and turn a lot I haven't slept well but a couple of nights since surgery. My doctor is 4 hrs away I'm going to call them today.

It could be scar tissue below the incisions. This bothered me for about 3 weeks.

I'm having it too, Its like a dull aching, especially when I breathe in deep. I think maybe it's just still a little swollen. I was wondering if I was filling it up too much with mushies and it was stretching and sore. I am really paranoid about that right now because I can't tell when I'm full until I am stuffed. I know, I know I'm still working on the signals. It also seems to hurt more (or maybe again its subconcious) when I seem to sleep on the side my stomach is. Hoping its just still soreness from surgery.

      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!!

      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... :(
