I'm 2 weeks out from my sleeve and hiatal hernia repair and continue to have this gnawing pain in my left shoulder and frequently between my shoulder blades. I'm still on the 3 weeks post op liquid diet...and feeling hungry .

The shoulder pain sounds like gas. Try some GasX strips and try walking more... even if it's just marching in place. That helped a lot with my gas pain.

The "hunger" could be acid. Are you on a PPI?

I'm 2 weeks out...? Still gas pain. Yes .I am on a PPI in am and take Pepcid complete in pm for that reason. I evidently had a pretty significant hernia and am wondering if that is my source of discomfort.

I got out and walked. Another thing that helps is when you start to feel the pain come on, take the deepest breath you can and hold it. Eventually the pain start to recede.

Yes, it could be gas or, or, or, or.....

If you're in pain enough that it is really bothering you, CALL YOUR SURGEON.

That's what after care is all about.

Every patient has the right to be pain free as much as the pain is manageable.

Don't guess. Go find out, so you can address it and get rid of it.

Take care and be kind to yourself. You're the only "self" that you have.

Prayers going up for you.

If your stomach is producing a ton of acid it feels like hunger pain, but is really just excess acid.

Excess acid can cause "rumbling" and "gurgling" that many people mistake for hunger. The truth is, most of us don't know or recognize what REAL hunger feels like.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I am 7 weeks post op and also had a large hiatus hernia repair. I also had horrendous pain in my left shoulder that didn't fully go away for about 2 weeks. The point is, it will go away!! GasX did nothing for me, I walked as much as I could.

I know exactly how you feel, but things will get better!!

      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.
