I would like to know if anybody has had shoulder pain when eating, I get it almost every time I eat something and it's getting worse, Is this normal?

They say that's usually a sign that you're full and you should stop eating.

Yes, I get it too (four months post op.) I find it happens when I eat too quickly and I am learning to SLOW DOWN (yelling at myself there :P )

That shoulder pain could be gas related - if you are taking in a lot of air while eating it could be causing that sharp left shoulder pain. You should ask your doctor about it.

Hi. I found out this was vagus nerve pain. Look it up because I can't really explain it well. But it happens when I eat too fast or too much.

Hello Menis,

I get this pain when I eat to much or to fast. I spoke to my Dr. I was told that I was lucky as most people do not get to feel the pain that lets them know they are over eating or eating to fast. Sad to say but I LOVE this pain. To me this pain is my wake up call to SLOW DOWN.

Use this pain as a tool that will make you slow down.

I wish you well.

Mary

it's the result of either irritation post abdominal surgery, eating too fast or getting too full related to the Phrenic Nerve. The Phrenic Nerve passes on either side of the neck and down through the diaphragm. It's the nerve responsible for the hiccups we get also. I know that when I get that pain, I've eaten too much. It hurts so bad, I take note to try not to do that again!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
