yep most assuredly, went through the battery of tests only to eventually show it was sympathetic gas pains. food moves gas out into nerve areas that reflect pain in that area. weird I know. Not saying its the same for you, but thats what mine was.

@@on the fence 2 - that is all very normal. The pain in the shoulder could be from gas, it could be from a repaired hernia. Or it could be referred pain from the nerves around the stomach. They are all possibilities. I had it until about six months. Now here's the fun part. After I eat too big of bites I get the pain there too and I'm at nine months. So eat slow eat small bites and the pain does go away slowly but surely

Sounds like your gallbladder may be acting up, that is, if you still have yours. The symptoms you describe, sound exactly like when I had my gallbladder attack. It's very uncomfortable! I do hope you feel better soon!

      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.
