Hey everyone! I'm a little over a week postop....the first day of my puréed diet went well but now not sure what I'm feeling...

For the first 4 day I was in TERRIBLE pain right under my biggest incision (which I hear is pretty normal). Day 5 was much improved and day 6 was basically pain free! This am when I woke up I was still basically pain free. My family and I decided to take the children in our family to the science center today. After about 3 hours, I noticed that I have this new pain....this time it's above my biggest incision :-/ No fever, no nausea, and my incisions are free from signs of infection....

Do you think I possibly over did it today? Has anyone else had a "new pain" arise after feeling basically great?

Perhaps!

You are doing way better than I was after surgery.

I didn't get out of the house except for small walks up and down my street.

I didn't get out and about until week three.

But I see people here who spring right back and go back to work after a few days.

Keep checking your temp and watch for other signs that may mean you need to be seen... Like racing heart or diarrhea those types of things

And it's always good to call your doctor for some guidance.

I called weekly

You have over did it. Do you have a binder to give you additional support? That helps alleviate the pain too. Sounds like your doing really good....

If it persist I would definitely check in with your surgeon or your nurse practiioner. It will probably pass but i'm not an expert - be safe rather than sorry and just check in if it lingers on.

Sounds like you might have over did it. I imagine if that is the case it will pass in a few days. Hope your pain goes away soon. Best Wishes
