Few questions....

1- What daily diet recommendations did your NUT give you? I have noticed that all NUT's recommend different things, I am just curious what the middle ground is.

2- Have you ever had bad achy pain in your sleeve area, left side? It's going around in my back, up under my ribs. Hurts like HECK!!

(Background...51 weeks post op, 178lbs lost. No post op problems at all.I AM however, sick with bronchitis, but this is localized pain) TIA!

your #2 question makes me think you might be having some gall bladder symptoms because of where you're describing the pain (right side, under ribs, radiating to the back) It's almost text book of what the top symptoms are for gall bladder attack. Might want to ask the doc before it sucker punches you!

Hope you feel better SOON!

And congrats on your absolutely awesome success :)

BTW, I have no gall bladder.

:( bronchitis sux! Did the pain start along side the bronchitis? I ask because once when I had it, I actually cracked a rib from coughing so hard!

Otherwise, I dunno what it could be --- lol especially since you don't HAVE a gall bladder!

I have been coughing really hard. Actually, the pain started while eating dinner tonight. I had bbq chicken, and once I started to hurt, I stopped eating. It is a dull achy throb.

You should call your doctor... Those symptoms could be pneumonia (sp?)

I had it and it felt like that and kinda tight achey as well

Definitely get a chest X-ray

It is possible. My 7y/o has walking pneumonia. :( It just seems more like sleeve pain.

Pnemonia hurts horribly and in places you wouldnt think it would hurt. I had it a few years ago. I'd get a chest xray for sure like lessofmeismore said. I hope you feel better soon
