shoulder pain

I am 3 1/2 months post-op, and I have pain in my left shoulder when I eat, even on the very 1st bite. It's not constant, and I have tried to take smaller bites, chew longer and wait more time between bites. Any suggestions????

I'm 2 months out and I sometimes get pain in my shoulder due to gas. Havent gotten one due to eating... yet

I suffered the left shoulder pain from pressure on my phrenic nerve for months. I had trouble sleeping because it was so bad. The one thing I found that helped was Equate brand menthol pain patches from Walmart. They are less than $4 a package and well worth the trip to walmart. I would put one on the tip of my shoulder in the afternoon or evening and leave it on all night. I guess there is another thing that helped.... the weightloss did finally take the pressure off the nerve and the shoulder pain stopped then. The pain was my "full signal" for months too.
