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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
