Shoulder pain after big bite



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Does anyone else get that shoulder pain in the left shoulder? Same place I had the pain after my surgery. I often find if I take too big a bite or if I'm getting full I get that horrible pain in my shoulder. eek!

I do! If I eat just one bite too much, my left shoulder hurts. I read some where that it is where the band is on a nerve and when you overeat it causes it to put pressure on that nerve. It is enough to make me not want to eat too much!

I am 4 years out and I still get pain in the back of my shoulder if I eat too much. Try walking and moving around. I also take gas-x when this happens.

It is your signal you are full. Its the band pressing on the nerve.

I'm only two weeks out, and I'm already there! Pain in my left shoulder after only a tiny bit of food. I guess that pain is going to become my friend. Or...at least I'll try & see it that way <_<

At nine months I still get that pain from time to time and its usually within the first few bites of my meal, I just stop and walk around a bit and it settles then I can continue with my meal.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
