Heavy Lifting...HELP!!!!



Recommended Posts

I have placed a call to my dr. waiting for a call back. Hopefully I can get in by tomorrow at the latest.

In the meantime for my own peace of mind can anyone answer me this? Yesterday I did a LOT of heavy yard work. Lifting rocks, moving furniture. Had to move a large rug outside to clean it and lifted it while it was still wet (very heavy). Now I am experiencing a weird pain in the port area and some pain in my shoulders. Each time I eat...I get a really weird pain in my left shoulder. Could I have done some damage? Has anyone else done this? I'm pretty scared here.

Hi, I have not had your symptoms but my doctor told me it was okay to lift after 6 weeks. He did say be careful and bend my knees. That being said he told me no stomach exercise, like crunches for 4 months (?) I never thought to ask the difference. Let us know what your doctor says. Good luck hope you are okay.

      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! 😞
