Hunger pains on left shoulder



Recommended Posts

So my left shoulder tells ALL. It lets me know when I'm full.....and now it lets me know when I'm hungry. Uggggg

Yes I know why and I know all about the nerve, but it's really very annoying. It hurts a lot and too often. I've had more success controlling it by never over eating, but at 5am it's KILLING me due to hunger I guess.

Anyone else?

I have left shoulder pain, too. When they took me into the operating room and strapped me down they had my arms strapped outward to either side. When I woke up after surgery my left shoulder was screaming in pain. It has been hurting to some degree or another ever since. I had a serious bout of tendonitis in my left shoulder last summer. I assumed that having my arms tied like that brought it on again. Maybe not? I'll have to ask my surgeon next week at my six week follow-up...

You may have something else going on other than hunger. You may need a shoulder MRI. Also physical therapy to keep it from freezing.

I had that pain with the lapband it went away after the revision, but I have felt it once or twice since. It's annoying and very painful. If u think its related to hunger try drinking/eating to see if it helps. Make sure u talk with the doc about it! ;)

      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.
