  1. Hi everyone. Thursday, Friday and Saturday I was walking because I felt so good on Thursday and Friday. However I think I have been doing too much walking and sewing. Last night as I was working on sewing a curtain for my patio which I hope to me able to get out onto in the next coming weeks my back across the shoulder really started to hurt. Today the lower back shoulder pain has moved to the side breast underarm pit area. Is it possible for that pain to move? It makes me wonderful if the lower back shoulder pain I had was gas pain due to the laparoscopic surgery. If it is when does this gas pain truly leave the body? This new location pain hurts as much as the lower shoulder back pain did. Also how is it possible to gain weight when all I have had is protein soups and shakes? Yesterday when I got on the scale I was up 4 pounds. It makes no sense. Does liquid Tylenol with codeine cause weight gain even when you don't eat anything? Sorry for the venting but today is not a good day. I am frustrating that I may be backsliding not progressing.

      Hi ssflbelle, I am really new to this surgery, too. But I have heard other ladies talk about gas pain after surgery, so I know it does happen. I can't answer your questions, but I am sending you a big hug and smile to help you feel better. Hope it happens soon!

      Could be gas pain though the pain associated with surgery should be gone by day 7. Is it left or right side? If right side,, that can sometimes by gallbladder I think? If it concerns you definitely call the doctor. Re gain, I know it is terribly frustrating especially this early in the journey but I promise you it will all start to come off soon. Your body is trying to recover from major surgery. Many (most) hit a stall right about 3 weeks, some hit it earlier. That may very well be what you are experiencing. Best advice is stay off the scale for a week and just stick with the program. I looked at your stats and look how far you have come!! You are a super hero! You can totally do this! Promise you will look back at this in 6 months and be astonished at your accomplishments.
