I get that referred pain to my left shoulder when I burp. It is awful, and makes me not want to eat, just to avoid that pain.

I am a neurologist who also just had a sleeve. Your symptoms are almost definitely due to a Vitamin deficiency. Though you can get toxic (too much) on B6 which causes burning feet. Your neurologist needs to check B6, B12, B1, B12, Vitamin D.The thigh pain might be meuralgia parethestica (google it).

I am 41/2 weeks out and have found the exact same trouble! I cannot tolerate dairy, soy or whey. I cannot tolerate any fake sugars either. I did not have this problem pre-op. So, Protein drinks are a no go. I have had to go puree and soft solids sooner than recommended, but otherwise I have no protein at all. I am getting ready to try some frozen soufflés and see how that goes. Most days, I do not eat till after work due to the bloating, pain, gas and diarrhea. I feel better if I don't eat anything, but am very worried about the lack of protein. I can keep down the Vitamins thank goodness. Also, my energy is really good, which surprises me. What is weird, is that I have only lost about 15 pounds. Guess I must be getting more calories than I think.

I am scheduled for January 28th with Dr. Erik Wilson in Houston.I am excited after waiting so long, but nervous. Will I feel terrible afterward?
