Over the weekend I came home from running errands and I was thirstily and tired went to the fridge and grabbed some lemonade (I know too many calories I was bad but thought I needed something)

The first cup ( a small paper cup went down easy but I was still thirsty so I took another and dam the calories well the minute I finished and put the cup down I got the most incrediable pain in my left shoulder…if I didn’t know what it was I would have called 911 and been on my way to the hospital

It took a good 15- 20 minutes to go away….never again.. worst pain ever (worst then when they cut out 1/4 of my colon

I wonder about the biology..exactly why does the left shoulder only hurt?

I assume it’s because I drank too much too fast but how does it get up in your chest?

I thought-------------

I didn’t have any restrictions but I guess I was very very wrong

i know if i drink anything too fast, i get pain. i think it is the left side because the band is on the left side, not positive though. you might not have a fill, but there is a little restriction, you just don't notice it. most likely the doctor put some saline in during surgery. drinking and eating fast can cause gas too and that is painful.

The phrenic nerve runs up in to your left shoulder and in to your head thats why the pain in the left shoulder.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
