Gas pain in left shoulder



Recommended Posts

When did you notice that you didn't have any pain in your left shoulder anymore. I'm 5 days post op and it's still hanging in there. I'm up and walking a lot.

Unfortunately I can't remember but if you have someone rub and pat your back like trying to burp a baby it may help a little :) it had helped me out a bit.

Hope ya feel better soon.

Just keep walking, walking, walking, walking. Mine mostly went away in about 3 days, but I've heard from lots of people who had it stick around for a little more than a week.

Oh! Also try GasX chewables (if your surgeon says they are okay) and heating pads! Hope it gets better soon!

I bet it will be gone in another 2 days. In the meantime, the thing that works the best is a heating pad. Feel better!

The gas pain I had was only in my shoulder area too. I found rolling my shoulders back one at a time helped break it up. I walked a lot too, but I did feel better after rolling my shoulders. Feel better! Good luck and Congratulations on your surgery!!

      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.
