When Does It Dtop Hurting



Recommended Posts

Get your doctor to give you adequate pain meds NOW. I only needed pain meds the morning after surgery and then I was okay, but others need help longer. Take the meds as scheduled and do not wait for pain to build--the key to pain control is to stop it before it starts. Pain slows healing so you need to get ahead of the curve and stop it in its tracks.

Can you get someone to take your toddler for a few days or at least come help so you can get rest? You are going to have to explain to the toddler that your tummy hurts and ask for help. Wear your abdominal binder to help protect and support your middle.

This will pass and it will be better sooner if you stop stressing about it. Take good care of yourself.

My parent came for a month to care for my toddler. There's no way I could have done this without them! Even in pain meds bc I slept constantly. Try to find someone to help with the little one and you'll do fine with the pain meds. Remember moving helps more and more each time you do it. Best of luck!

I passed gas for the first time and it was great for the pain and this morning I went number 2 for the first time I have to admit it was embarrassing because I couldn't clean myself I had to call my husband 0_o

Is gas the pressure pain I am feeling in abdomen area and it feels as if there is a band around my rib cage area. I had my surgery 11-11-13 and have been doing great getting all my Protein requirements in, moving around and drinking fluids. This morning is my first day of bothersome discomfort. I took two gas-x strips and have been walking around. Has anyone had this pressure pain?

      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?
