shoulder pain.

Last night was the worst shoulder pain ever. Since my surgery, I've had joint pain in my left shoulder. The nurses in the hospital told me that it was gas and would go away in a few days. Here I am on day 7 but still have daily left shoulder pain. There are many different suggestions and solutions to this problem. I heard take gas x and if that doesn't work try another brand. Well, they all have the same ingrediant. What I have found is that if chewables don't work, try gel tabs or liquids or strips. But as I was saying last night was the most unrealy shoulder pain I have had. I tried something that someone here suggestion and it really works. PUT YOUR BUTT IN THE AIR, SHOULDERS TO THE BED (like a sleeping child) within seconds the pain is gone. I actually felt the gas moving towards my lower abdomen and loud burp and hallelujah. Slept like a baby the rest of the night. Off to walk away more gas.... Hopefully it goes away for good soon.:smile:

My journey has begun

My surgery date was May 3rd. It was a long road to get there. I waited for all the medical information necessary to send to the insurance. Then, once submitted, the insurance company wanted more info. After 2 tries I was given the okay to go ahead with the surgery. OMG what a trip through the pre-op regimen, the surgery day jitters, to the first week of hunger, gas, clear liquids. All my bad habits reared their evil heads. For some reason all I've wanted to do this past week is bake. Cookies, banana bread, elaborate dinners. I can't have any of this!!!! Why am I torturing myself? I gave into temptation and ate a cookie. Well sort of. I chewed then spit it into the sink. I just wanted some texture and the chewing sensation. What I've realized is that my weight is directly connected to my emotions. Chewing is like suckling. Food is my friend. Always there for me. I guess it is now time for me to be there for me huh? Goodbye overindulgance. Goodbye late night snacking and all day grazing. No more sunflower seeds to replace bordem. And so my journey to my new self begins.
