Post-Op 6 days and suddenly developed shoulder pain.



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery May 20, 2020, everything has  been smooth sailing until last night around 2am, I woke up to incredible shoulder pains that just will not go away with Tylenol. Ever thing else is fine. No fever, no tummy pain, nothing. Just this awful shoulder pain. Anyone else’s have this issue?

Hi Ruth. I had the same on my left shoulder. I was told it was leftover gas but definitely get checked to be sure. Does walking help?

I walk over 2 miles a day and I have had zero pain till today at 2am. Walking has not helped today, only getting worse by the hour.

I had something similar and it was gas pain. But either call the surgeon or your primary and check with them (or ER) because it's better to just make sure...

As a Cardiac issue survivor - Go get checked out - Not saying you have issues, but DO NOT PUSH IT! Could be stress could be gas, But let the doc;s figure that stuff out

I am in the hospital and doc is trying to rule out a leak now. In lots of shoulder pain. No fever, no stomach pain, just shoulder pain.

      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.
