I noticed everytime I get food stuck I have left shoulder pain. Even after the food passes the pain in my shoulder lingers..does this happen to anyone else? I'm kinda worried its heart related but just don't know. Thanks

Hi:

I get the shoulder pain that lingers for hours when I get stuck too. In fact, when I get stuck it always hurts my shoulder more than my tummy.

You may want to mention it to your doctor though, just to give yourself peace of mind.

Take care.

Sue

I always get the shoulder pain if I overeat or get stuck. The doc said it is a nerve that can be irritaed that causes it .

I have the same pain and a tingling sensation in my left shoulder. After the food passes it lingers anywhere from 15-45 minutes. My doctor told me that it was nothing to worry about.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
