Pain in stomach after exercise?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I'm new and this is my first post. Mostly everyone seems helpful and supportive here, so I just wanted to ask a question about pain. I was sleeved on 8/25. I had my post-op follow up with surgeon on 9/7 and he cleared me for all exercise (except abdominal exercises). Today was the first day I cleaned the house from top to bottom since surgery, and it took me about 4 hours. My stomach is killing me! It feels like muscular pain, which would be understandable since the most exertion I've done since surgery is walk. I think I just overdid it, but I was curious if anyone else experienced pain like this after their first major exertion? Thanks for the feedback.

I actually just posted a similar question I'm in week 4 as of today and I'm starting to do some more physical activity and to the left of my belly button it's pretty painful it feels like I did a zillion crunches or something! So we can't be alone in this pain best of luck!

That's exactly where I'm having my pain as well! I'm sorry you're having pain too, but I'm glad to know it's nothing horribly wrong. Thanks and good luck.

I'm having pain in a similar area, but it's more underneath the left side of my ribs. I'm two weeks out on Weds and see my surgeon tomorrow so will follow up with him then...

I was lucky- my post op instructions were very clear- "NO housework for 6 weeks"...

I went back to work at 2 weeks and had that same pain for about 2 weeks. By week 4 it was fine

Thanks very much, everyone. I called the surgeon and based on my symptoms (no nausea or vomiting with the pain), he thinks it's muscle pain. He told me to hold off on the housework for another two weeks to avoid complications with potential hernias.

Hello, I am 3 weeks 4 days post sleeve op ,and a couple days ago I puked pretty hard... Now I feel like my stomach is super sore or kinda like ripped underneath my skin. The deep inside of my belly button is sore and kind of like an irritated burn, it's hard to describe. My stomach feels irritated. Has anyone else had this issue? Does it go away after I let it re heal myself again? What have you done? Thanks for the feed back. This journey is definitely not easy.

      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...

      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
