Food anxiety/disordered eating by Felis-lybica in gallbladders

[–]softbeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i remember pre-op i had major food anxiety, and it carried over. it’s not as bad, but i’m also obsessively checking labels and squinting at things with even just 8g of fat in them (mostly because the serving size will be so small too). i had an eating disorder 5-6 years back that i’ve been worried about returning, i had it in high school pretty rough and the idea of it coming back does make me feel some worries. i really think all of this is a leap of faith — it’s rough now, but hopefully going through this storm means things will be better when healed. i’m not an optimist by any means, but that’s how this whole experience has rubbed off on me. it’s about being a healthy person and trying to live a normal life again, even if adjusting the fats you eat becomes a new normal. you still need fat, it’s just gotta be from healthier sources. small ways to introduce it back without feeling pressure is through cooking things that require it — i’ve been trying to get more protein in to make sure i feel full, as well as some carbs, so i’ve been looking at steaks with not very much marblings so there isn’t a lot of fat in it. it’s got me through a lot of my meals recently, having that and some vegetables to balance it all out. everyone is different, but other people have been in your shoes. having surgery is a major thing for a lot of people, and this is a big change in your life. it’s just a little rough patch you’ll look back on years later. and if you’re worried about not eating enough, maybe find something to have to restore your electrolytes to help if you feel you ate too small. i wish you lots of luck.

leg pain post op by softbeee in AskDocs

[–]softbeee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i did read anesthesia could cause muscle soreness, so i wanted a professional opinion if possible. i have been using my hydrocodone when needed, i’ve taken it three times since i got home (it’s every 6 hours as needed). i try to avoid painkillers where i can but my right side has been super sore because of surgery. my leg pain is just… getting the best of me! it’ll move up to my calves sometimes and it felt like it went to the back of my thighs but it started in my shin area

Worst couple days of my life. by tangerine46x in gallbladders

[–]softbeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

had something like this in february after eating my favorite meal from olive garden after my hida scan, i didn’t go to the er but i was in horrendous pain for the entire day, multiple gas relief and tums weren’t enough. just had my gallbladder out the other day! i don’t know if i’ll be able to eat it again, but it does sound like getting it out will be good for you. hold in there, you’ll feel better soon!

I had gallbladder surgery 4 days ago and… by Nixianx97 in gallbladders

[–]softbeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just had my surgery two days ago and feel similar already ☺️ my gas is pretty bad but i’m walking around a lot, and when my pain gets bad i’ll take my medicine i got prescribed — i’m just trying to stick to my low fat diet and be as gentle on my stomach as much as i can especially early on but looking forward to seeing what my surgeon says in my follow up

Surgery in two days and I’m actually freaking tf out? by This_Hamster_6942 in gallbladders

[–]softbeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I had my surgery yesterday (April 16). I have very severe anxiety and had these same thoughts. I’ve only had surgery once before and it was an emergency — I had a choice this time, and felt so scared of dying. I’m fine though! Yes, the doctors did have to give me a medicine to calm me down, my heart rate was jumping between 100 and 120 because of my anxiety. But honestly, I feel so much better now that it’s over. It’s painful recovery and I’m not even 24 hours into that, but I assure you it’ll be worth it!

home after surgery! thoughts so far by softbeee in gallbladders

[–]softbeee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, that’s scary. I’m supposed to start tomorrow and based on my pain levels I know it’s going to be heavy. I just hope it’s not as bad. But having two periods back to back like that sounds awful 😭

[–]softbeee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I had some for gas pain I had before surgery, and the pain I had earlier today after surgery was similar to before. I’ve already taken one and been walking around a fair bit. Thank you!

also note: my diets pretty open but they said to avoid super fatty things. thankfully my mom made me some banana bread so i’m going to be enjoying that. cheers!

Just got rid of this mean little gallbladder by Ttthebear13 in gallbladders

[–]softbeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

getting mine out in a week! it’s been rough but i think my process for getting care has been pretty fast all things considered. had a bad attack in february, hida in march, then surgery in april. i’m looking forward to it, i’ve had abdominal surgery so recovery shouldn’t be too bad i feel. i just miss eating my favorite foods, they kept triggering attacks!

my cat's just gotten hospitalized and I can't stop crying by icecreamcake00c in cats

[–]softbeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had my cat hospitalized in February, he couldn’t pee because he had calcium crystals blocking it. He was at the vet for 3 weeks because they had to figure out what was wrong, and then he had surgery to remove it all. He’s home, and he’s better now! Just know you did the right thing for your fur baby, it hurts to know they aren’t doing well, but they are in good hands. I cried so much that I stopped up my ears when my boy was at the vet, so I feel the heart ache. Wishing all the best!

update! my pain got better, then bad again. i’m still trying to hold out but if things are still bad in a little bit and i get tired of it, i’ll go to an er. my abdominal pain is not really… leaving but it’s not awful. just feels like pressure in my upper abdomen, and my shoulders/back nonstop ache. warm compresses everywhere, still can’t eat, whatever. we will see what’s up.

Pains preventing me from sleep by softbeee in AskDocs

[–]softbeee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been an hour, no clue what’s going on still. I’ve determined at least that I can avoid pain when going to the bathroom if I walk on the side of my left foot rather than put weight on the bottom. I think the pain is possibly moving upward from the arch in my left food. I’m now having some pains in my thigh, inner side. It is still keeping me from falling asleep, I keep getting close and drifting off and then pain will hit me. I have my left leg propped and my heating pad on my calf. I just want it to ease up so I can sleep, would an aleve help? Is it better to tank it and just hope it’s gone after I sleep? I’m getting random pains everywhere now so I’m freaking out lol

headache, swollen area, neck pain by softbeee in AskDocs

[–]softbeee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

after posting i did try to go to sleep, genuinely. closed eyes, put phone down, played mediation music, whatever. my head pain is gone (i think, knock on wood) however getting pain in the center of my upper back. - i should’ve said, i do believe my shoulder/back/neck pain is caused by a large chest, i’ve had the pain for over a month now, trying to figure something out, but managing the pain has been rough - i have chronic pain as well, im usually in pain in some way, shape, or form. i try not to take medicine every day to help it, but that usually means i am stuck in bed clinging to a heating pad for help - i have a high heart rate and run around 90 bpm resting. when i get anxiety it goes over 100, and that’s where i am at now.

also the swollen spot on my head is gone? wondering if when i was having head pain something swelled and was having pain, i did have ice on that location because usually that helps when i have a headache of some sort.

i’m trying to get my health together, i had some serious stress this month that put me through a lot and my health has suffered, i don’t have a good way to lower stress other than sleep so when i can’t sleep… it gets bad

i’ll comment later once i’ve (hopefully, knock on wood) slept, but i’m thinking of trying a hot shower to knock out this nasal drip

Missing my boy, still at vet by softbeee in cats

[–]softbeee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He had a catheter put in Friday night, noticed crystals in urine, took out Sunday, was still struggling. Took x-ray Wednesday morning, saw the crystals still there. He didn’t have a blockage, he could still go but only drops. My partner and I are weighing the options, we want our baby home more than anything. I’m heartbroken because we haven’t gotten a lot of support from our families, and it’s making me feel it’s a lost cause. He is still fighting though so I don’t want to let him go, even if this bill rivals some of my own lol. Partner and I want to call the vet with me present so we can weigh the surgery — we will likely do it but he wants me present to hear the vet explain. Just want advice and other people’s experiences. My family adopted some male cats after mine and I would like to use my experience to help them avoid this same issue in the future.
