The shoulder pain is most likely from gas pain. Are you walking because that helps with the gas pains. I'm 7 week post op and I struggled with getting all my protein in. If I couldn't get my protein in I drink more water, that helped with the constipation...tmi..but hey...it gets real LOL.! I never tried tomato soup during my first weeks. It was jello, broth, SF popsicles, and protein....repeat and repeat. What are some of the other things you're eating?

Shoulder pain, looking for theories
JulyBandster replied to JanetC's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am almost 9 months out from my band surgery, and this remains an issue for me too. I had almost given up from hearing anyone else discuss it, cause it seems like I am the only one still suffering, long after surgery. My doctor isn't sure what causes it either.......... Here is what I have learned about why it happens to me: I never have it early in the morning, when I first get up....it happens, usually, mid morning, right before lunch when I am hungry. Also, hits me late afternoon when I -you guessed it- am hungry again...or just need more Water. My husband noticed that one day I was especially complaining about it, that when I bent over to pick something up off the floor I let out a heck of a belch-----------and felt immediate relief. Can't explain it, but seems to work. Meaning, if I can get rid of some of the air, I feel better, tho not forever. (It doesn't go away completely at this point, but is definitely relieved for the moment.) I don't use straws, so can't imagine how this keeps occurring.....I am a teacher, and talk a lot - maybe I really am full of hot air? HAha. Another way I get some relief is to lie down on the left side..........I usually feel air moving around, and sorry for tmi, but it heads out one way or the other, and I feel better. I never experienced this preop....don't have a gallbladder anymore so it's not that...and I know that it comes and goes depending on the fills. Can't explain it to save my life, but I have really tried to figure out why I'm suffering! (I am no where near full restriction yet, so can't be that.......Still working on getting to sweet spot) Good luck.......and know you aren't alone! -
I originally posted this in another thread but I thought I would post here as well!!! Im 23 and 5'3"....So I recently went shopping and found that I am finally in regular size clothes!!! WoooHooo!!! My sleeve date was May 1st. Starting weight 257-18w & 2x tops---today 199- ..........14 & 16 REGULAR JEANS & L tops!!!! Notice I also hit Onderland!!!!! I am currently in a stall and have been for at least a week or so! I try not to weigh my self everyday... for the last 2 days I've worn dresses! I never thought I would but they look amazing! As you can tell I'm very proud of my self. It wasn't but maybe 6 weeks ago I was on here crying thinking I wasn't going to drop anymore weight...I have stalled ALOT!!! But hey slow and steady is fine with me. I have noticed I'm starting to have extra skin in my breast area...SRY TMI!!!!! I will have plastics sometime in the near future after I hit my goal. I'm shooting for 160-----140 would be amazing----who knows... Im going to let my body decide. My husband loved the old me, but is wild about the new me.... I do sometimes "miss" food....I hate the uncomfortable feeling when I take that 1 last bite (I still haven't learned)! I haven't conquered "head hunger" My enemy....chips (Pringles & Cheeto-Puffs)...in the last 3 months I have quit my job, went back to school(full-time), strengthened my relationship with my hubby and son! I'm trying to finish my basics so I can get into the Petrolleum Engineering program. Before the sleeve I was to tired to do anything... I worked full time 50+ hours...I wasn't in control of my life...I am now...What have I learned... No matter the size or shape I am...pretty or not...I love me for me and want to be healthy for me and my family!!! I do not regret my sleeve at all. At times when I ate to much and was in pain I would probably tell you different but it has been absolutely life changing!!!!! I'm sorry for all the extra info I have crammed in here I just felt like I had so much to share with the world and you guys, I knew, would be happy for me and listen!!! Future sleevers-don't second guess your self...And when you hit that stall get on here and talk to someone...there is so many motivational stories on here that will help you get through!!!

weird bowel issues ... kinda concerned
Sunny702 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
First let me give my apology in advance because this is TMI ... I'm embarressed to even posting this. However I reaaalllyyy want/ need to know if this has happened to anyone else. I normally go 2-3 times per week if that, this is all my life. However the past week & a 1/2 I've been going almost every day ... sometimes 2x's per day. This in itself is weird to me. Then add in the fact that its a weird green color and a very small amount each time. Then yesterday & today there was a little bit of blood. I'm still looking for a job so I don't have insurance right now. However I'm considering going to the Dr. and praying he doesn't have to run too many tests. :-( This is the first time in my life that I have had to even think about "if" I was going to go to the Dr. I'm used to being able to just go to the Dr. whenever I need to. This SUUUUUUCKS!!! Has this issue happened to anyone else??? -
Made A Bad Choice Today And My Sleeve Is Punishing Me! (Tmi)
Smontgomery posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So, today I broke down and had some of my kid's Easter Candy. I ate about 20 milk duds. My sleeve is very unhappy with me right now. I'm nauseous and I have the worst diarrhea. (I know, TMI!) I'm unhappy that I feel so crappy but, really pleased that my sleeve is doing what it is supposed to! I knew that I shouldn't eat tht candy but, I did anyway and I'm paying the price. Lesson learned, sleeve! You Win!!! (ps, who knew that a side affect of getting the sleeve would be becoming a little bit masochistic?) LOL -
Never underestimate the power of a good...
MKGlidewell replied to Ah0505's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just a warning....this may be TMI....but.... I took a Tbsp of Milk of Magnesia last night and finally had a BM after 8 days! I'm 7 days post-op. It was small but I had been on mostly liquids pre-op 2wks and liquids for a week now...Didn't expect much but it was good to get it out :-) -
Wtf... Tmi...
WhitePlumerias replied to momoftwins+1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have PCOS and an IUD. I have about 2 periods a year that last a couple of days but are so light that you only need pantiliner -- sorry if TMI. But since my surgery 3 weeks ago I have been heavily spotting and cramping on and off for 2 weeks. I was told it was normal and was due to the surge in estrogen from rapid weight loss. -
TMI - today not a good one! (Bathroom issues - long)
no onions posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
More of a vent and share here. So, I took a new prescription last night (Prilosec) which will eventually replace Pepcid. I ate late, but an appropriate amount. Went to bed, had some twinges and took a Percocet. No big deal, right? Woke up this morning feeling nauseous, headache, very dry mouth and overall exhausted. Thinking I could be slightly dehydrated, I mixed about 8oz of Water with 4oz of apple juice and drank it over about 30 minutes. Well about 20 minutes later gas and cramping. Impossible (!) as I'm constipated slightly (or maybe more), or so I thought. Long story (I know), but who knew you could be constipated and have diarrhea at the same time! For the love of whatever... that doesn't need to ever happen again! I've felt craptastic all day long and have just tried to stay hydrated - food -- out of the question for most of the day, going to try some broth tonight though. Side note: prior to surgery I took Rx to keep me from dumping (gallbladder side effect) and haven't taken it since as I've been slightly constipated, going every 2-3 days. -
I'm a week away from being banded. I have been reading around here quite a bit, but I wondered if this is unusual. I have no pre-op diet. They just told me to practice chewing food really good, give up caffeine, sip as much Water as possible, and eat less carbs / more Protein. I feel like I should be doing more to get ready for this. Also, post-op, I will be on Clear liquids for a very short time (about two days) and then go straight to mushies. Does this seem unusual? The place where I am being banded is very reputable. It's a "Bariatric Center of Excellence" for Blue Cross / Blue Shield. They do a lot of surgeries and they are quite aggressive about recovery, post-op. Also, TMI-type question (I'm a dork) but do they shave your pubic hair when they do surgery? For some reason I am freaking out about this. I am not a hairball but I don't shave clean either - can't stand the grow-back itch! LOL! Thanks in advance, for any info.

Trouble Getting In The Water!
Mom2many replied to Mom2many's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is me. Yesterday I had that "burning feeling" when I peed. Tmi I know. But I am positive it was because of not enough water. Today I feel better but I have really been concentrating on it. -
I've always had big legs. My dad said that our family doesn't have legs, they have tree trunks. <love the name by the way>. My legs were one of the first places I really noticed my weight loss and they have slimmed to the point I have a little bit of a thigh gap. The breeze in my nether regions can be a little unsettling. Sorry if that's TMI, but if any group can understand, I"m sure this group can. I'm a bit lumpy/bumpy from the knees up. I wouldn't say I'm Shar Pei material, but it's jiggly and loose, especially in my inner thighs where I used to have "chub rub." From the knees down, I've slimmed. I still have bigger ankles and would never be able to wear an anklet, but not the stumps/cankles I once had. In fact, I can actually see the definition of my ankle bones these days. Huge improvement.

1 month monday down 48 lbs
wannabaloser replied to crystal916's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I have lost 40 pounds in one month and 10 days and I don't see it either. Everyone else does though. I am like you with Protein shakes. I am making smoothies with the powder to try to lile it better. I also either have diarrhea (sorry, tmi) or horrible heartburn after I do the Protein drinks. I had energy issues the first week or so but now I feel great. I am super glad I chose this surgery and honestly ig I don't lose another pound I will still be happy. -
Dumping syndrome? Tmi
keish_lorraine replied to vbm510's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have "dumped" twice since my surgery. Milk did it each time. I told my surgeon, and he states that it was not dumping. The sleeve surgery has caused me to become lactose intolerant. If I look at milk, I sh*t (TMI). -
female only Even I think this is TMI but didn't know who else to ask
kirafiki posted a topic in The Gals' Room
And I don't think its all that appropriate for the fitness and exercise forum, so here goes... I do spin class ALOT. Here's the problem. My inner labia are HUGE and become very annoyed by the bike... but NOTHING has ever given me the same exercise high as spin, so I refuse to quit. Any ladies out there spin or bike a lot and have this issue? Any suggestions about how to deal with it? Thanks, and thanks for putting up a little TMI about my anatomy. -
I was banded last week, on June 3rd. I will be on the full liquid diet for 3 weeks before I move on to pureed food! Basically, what I was told is I can have anything that is pourable or can go through a straw (without the straw, of course). My doctor said I could have yogurt and sf pudding at this point too. I asked if I needed to make them more liquidy and he said no, really he just doesn't want me chewing anything. I've been having problems with keeping anything in me though, everything seems to go right through! Sorry, TMI. I'm wondering if it might be the dairy I'm mixing with my protein shakes? I've never had any problems digesting dairy before though? I've tried blending some banana in with my shakes but it hasn't really made a difference. Any suggestions?

Good morning you wonderful people! I had my surgery May 7, and I want to know did anyone experience the runs after returning home? I know it's tmi, but I haven't stopped going since I came home! Is anyone else going through this?

This is new to me. I'm 5 weeks out. Yesterday I ate a few bites of raw coconut. It didnt have an immediate affect so I thought it was fine. An hour later I had 5, yes five wheat thins. And one ounce of chicken. About an hour later I was down and out. I thought I may be going through 'dumping'. Nope for the next 7 hours I vomited the foamys, thought my chest was going to explode, had pain in my back right below the shoulder blades and couldn't lay down. I tried small sips of water, an antacid, and a pain pill . I finally vomited what looked like the coconut but it was dark in color-- tmi? Sorry. I was really starting to worry. Just now after 8 hours can I almost lay down and don't have as severe pain as I did. WTH! Is this going to be a normal addition to what I'm already dealing with?

☠carolinagirl☠ replied to Mayasgram's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
well i was out of the (fat) category and into the morbid obese terms and soon to super obese...i couldnt hardly walk...was getting harder to take care of myself personally as my arms couldnt reach around my girth (sorry TMI) and i was in size 30 clothes and very concerned if they made them (bigger) and where to buy them... but the turning point was my granddaughter just born. i wanted to be able to push her around the block in a stroller. that is my motivation. my eryn. hope this is a good response to your post maya as its from my heart and 100% accurate. -
3 Week Post Op - Celebration And Questions
Fat4now replied to MzPecanBrown's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow...All of our diets are so different...I was able to start mushies after week 2 but I am not allowed any meet or fish. I can start fish at week 4 and chicken at week 5. I am also allowed whole wheat crackers and 1/2 slice of whole wheat bread with peanut butter or fat free cheese. HOWEVER, I have stalled for a week now since I have been on mushies (and they have made me constipated--TMI)... I am very upset because I do not feel like I should be stalling this early in the game.. I have cut back to two shakes a day and 2-3 snacks since I was unable to get my protein in...This is definitely a full time job. Congrats on your loss... I have lost 35 all together but only 15 of that is since surgery (the same day as you). -
I have really bad diarrhea :-( I tried calling my NUT, just waiting for a call back. Is anyone else experiencing this? I do NOT want to take the milk of magnesia since waste is still coming out, but I take a multivitamin with fiber in it. Can I add some to a protein shake?
-
Hi sorry if this is tmi but this is my second period since I got sleeved and I am feeling super nauseous. I even threw up yesterday. Is this normal? Called my doctor and waiting to hear back. I do know my period is super heavy this time as well. Anyone else experience this?
-
This is probably too much information, but since rny gastric bypass in April, I only have a bowl movement once a week. I know this is pretty normal, that is not really my concern. My concern is recently I had a bowel movement, when I got up to flush I noticed there were some solid pieces of food in my bowel movement. I just recently introduced solid food to my diet. I ate broccoli and that was what was solid. I do chew my food well so I am concerned that there was solid food. Any thoughts? Should I be concerned that a solid peice of broccoli was able to go through my stoma?

Massive stomach ache. Warning TMI
TooneyNinosMom posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hate having to post this but I need some help. I am 4 weeks post op and having some issues. Since yesterday I have felt absolutely awful. I've had diarrhea, a massive stomach ache and everything I put in my stomach hurts. Even when I bend down it hurts. I have no fever, no chills and my heart rate is normal. Have any of you gone through this?
