I haven't had the shoulder pain. I hear it's mostly contributed to the air in the abdomen. Some people get it when they are hungry and some get it when they are full too :thumbup:

OMG! I was so angry with myself for not speaking to my surgeon about this during my 2 week postop checkup.

I thought I pulled a muscle... I had no idea this was common!

I'm AMAZED!

For me it is not very frequent, and I notice that it's when I'm really hungry or have eaten too fast.

I can't believe this! I have had MRI's, nerve conduction studies, injections, and heart tests for this left shoulder pain!!! I have only mentioned the shoulder pain to my surgeon a couple of times (but got no feedback at all). I am calling my surgeon back tomorrow, something has got to be done. I have pain in my shoulder everyday, just about, to some degree. Sometimes it is excrutiating. I have never looked through the site until now, but you can bet I will from now on. Go figure...

      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.
