Help!!!!! 911



Recommended Posts

:) Firstly- I cant eat more than a bit of food (not related to the question beloew because the problem i am having has been occuring before I got my lastest fill), and I am not really loosing weight with eating so little - I just made an aapointment to get my band loosened - anyone else?

:help: Secondly and more importantly - I have horrible shoulder pain (left) that comes and goes with no warnings - its not like i am hungry or too full and its not gas like the pain I had after surgery. The scariest thinig is that the only trigger I noticed was when my back is against something it starts to hurt and when I push down on my stomach the pain releaves slightly ------ What do you guys think is going on? My Doc seems to have turned into an idiot and just tells me its things I know its NOT so I was hopeing my fellow bandsters had some insight!!!

I'm not sure what is could be but i hope that you feel better real soon. I'm curious what does your doctor think it is, if you don't mind sharing?

I have periodic shoulder pain on my left shoulder by my collar bone. It comes and goes and is uncomfortable but not unbearable. When I first had my surgery..well, maybe a week out...that is where the gas pain would settle, as well as along my sternum. I don't know what it is but figure it is a by product of the band somehow. I don't think it is gas, but maybe a nerve or something connected to something else?

DO you think its something as serious as a slip? or erosion? I am starting to think this because i can only eat a bite or two of food at each sitting

Have an ultra sound done on your gall bladder. I just had mine removed about 3 weeks ago. Same symptoms as you, but lots of pain from front to back in the sternum area.

I 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.
