Worst pain ever. SNEEZED 6 days out.



Recommended Posts

I have had a fairly nice recovery, I am proud that I have been getting in all my liquids and Protein, waking, NO pain meds. Then... I sneezed.... holy SH!T, that was by far the worst pain I have ever had. it was located on my large left incision where they remove the stomach and use stitches to close you up. I hope I did not pull a stitch out or anything.... I may take 1 oxy just to recover from that sneeze from hell. anyone else have this problem? I have been coughing every once in a while, it hurts, but not as bad. I prepare myself by applying pressure to that incision. if you feel a sneeze coming on..... try your hardest to NOT sneeze.

I did the same thing today, AT THE PLAY GROUND!...

So I'm doubled over in pain wanting to scream out "F*ck!" with all the other mom's sitting around looking at me like I'm nuts. Worse pain ever....

@@Rovobay I hope so.

Today official week out from surgery (9/8/14)

Thing's are defiantly getting better, Only thing I'm dealing with now is pain in my lower left abdominal area from what I understand Is normal. It feels like really bad muscle pain, It's tolerable for the most part of the day it's not till 5-6pm rolls around that I start getting super sore from it.

Yah, that sneeze a few days post op was painful. Coughing was tough enough (holding a pillow).

The good news is it gets better pretty quickly. I'm almost 5 weeks out and I've sneezed a few times over the past couple of days. It was painless/normal. I think I noticed by two weeks that I didn't have any problem coughing. Until something in the air changed, I hadn't been sneezing (thankfully).

Oh Lord this must have been awful! I coughed and it felt like my insides were coming apart. I'll have to take note and try to stifle any sneezes!

I got hiccups on day 4. I literally cried like a baby. Made the hiccups worse and the sobbing hurt nearly as much!

Luckily, I didn't sneeze until about day 8 and it was ok by then, but I feel your pain! x

I bet that hurts. I almost sneezed the other day but I was able to stop myself. I've been coughing the entire time. Sucks. My sinuses make me cough, not good with the surgery now(9/15). It's getting better.

I know. I thought I was in the clear but I choked on some Water this morning and not the constant soreness is back. Not as bad though. I'm starting to take 115 grams of Protein again instead of their recommended (at least) 70. Trying to heal faster.

Thank you. I use the GNC 100% whey isolate mixed with .5 -1% milk in the morning and before bed. It's 28g Protein 1 scoop plus 8g from milk. I have unflavored Unjury (20g protein per scoop) I mix with Crystal light, 2 scoops per water bottle and sip throughout the day. The unjury, you can subscribe to monthly and save 15%. Comes out to about 18 or19 per container. Hope that helps you.

      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! 😞
