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

      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! 😞
