Topic: Surgery completed
Good afternoon all,
I had my surgery yesterday and was released this morning. Overall I feel fine. I am sipping on a protein shake. My doctor started me on a pureed diet today. I am going to try some tuna for supper in the blender and see how that goes down. Last night in the hospital I was pretty groggy and only had water and some ice chips. I am sore, but I hope all will go well. I have not experienced the gas pains yet(I hope I don't). I will use all the advice that you guys provide.

Morning Everyone,
Can't believe it is already wednesday. WOW the weeks and months are sure passing quickly !!! As I think about life....it sure gives us no promises. No promises of good choices....no promises of weight loss when we want it.....we just have to accept what comes our way daily and deal with it. But all in all life is good and we ALL have so very much to be grateful for that we sometimes take for granted. This post is to remind us all daily of all the good things in our lives that we don't always focus on. It is SO much easier to focus on the negative. PLEASE feel free to share with us some of the things that you are grateful for today, Here are a few of the things that I am grateful for today.......
Grateful for being back on track with my WL program today,

Topic: RE: Horrific left shoulder pain!!!!!!!
Mine lasted about 2 weeks and then like Heather so eloquently said, "Poof it was gone"..but like Tom said, if it too bad, call your doctor.

Katie,
I had the same terrible left shoulder pain it was horrible, I did a lot of things to soothe it, walked around, did the heating pad, eventually it cleared up. However if you are in excruciating pain and it is unberable I suggest that you call your doctor right away.
I had the pain in my shoulder for about 2 days and then all of a sudden it was gone. Poof just like that I'm thinking that yours will clear up as well.

Topic: RE: Horrific left shoulder pain!!!!!!!
Left shoulder pain is quite normal after surgery. It’s the gases that they put in you to “move things around" trying to escape. Gas moves UPWARD and towards the left (I would guess because that’s where the heart is located).
It may take a few weeks for it to pass. Call your Doctor just to make sure.
Good Luck on your Journey !!
