shoulder pain?



Recommended Posts

How common is shoulder pain and did you experience it? I'm having shoulder pain in my left shoulder that comes and goes. And I was wondering how long it will be before the pain usually goes away? FYI I have not been able to pass any gas yet except through my Mouth.

Took a couple of weeks for mine to be fully eradicated.. and yes, I had shoulder pain, too.

You can take all the 'gas-x' /colic drops you like; walk around - I am of the humble opinion, it dissipates when it wants to...

Sorry you're suffering. Hang on in there, try to keep mobile and it will go eventually...

My shoulder pain lasted about a week.

Walking was the only thing that helped with the gas - and maybe like Reverie states above it was more relief from the gas pain than getting rid of the gas. It made me feel better.

The gas in your upper body cavity that is making your shoulder hurt will not all pass as normal gas does. That is to say, it is not in you stomach or GI tract. It is within your body cavity itself. It will ease up in the days ahead and lots of walking is the best thing for 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.
