The pain came back again 1 1/2 after eating 1/8 Protein for dinner. The shoulder pain feels like I dislocated my shoulder! Excruciating pain. Icy hot and heating pads help. ANYBODY HAVE THIS? I swear I eat slow and it happens 1 1/2 after a meal!

It sounds like gas. I was still on liquids at your stage....drs are all different... But at one week post op it took me 10 to 15 minutes to drink a glass of Water. And when I first was allowed mushies at 3 weeks it took 20 minutes to eat 1/2 c.

The doctor said it was gas but this pain is literally debilitating . I was shopping and the pain almost takes your breath away. I have not returned to work yet but I can't have this pain while I work. And I'll be honest I can handle pain pretty well but today was the worse! Keep the comments coming any help is better than no help!!!

You maybe have always been able to handle pain...but don't forget you are dealing with a whole new set if issues. You cannot eat like you have your entire life, you just had surgery where your chest cavity was filled with air...you are realizing that life as a bandster isn't a walk in the park....your emotions are raw...... Give yourself a break and rest and walk.... Sip everything and don't try to rush it.... Your body needs to heal.

So sorry. I didn't know you were still dealing with this today. Is it worse than yesterday? Have you tried massage? Maybe that would move it around? :-(

My doctor warned me about that shoulder pain/gas pain prior to procedure. Never realized how much that would actually hurt. I'm one day post op and the gas pains feel worse than the actual procedure itself. The only thing that helps me is walking around and repositioning myself from a lying to sitting position. Hope you feel better soon

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
