Right upper quadrant twinges after fast loss

2026-10-15 04:43

Anyone else get right-upper-quadrant pressure after fattier meals on this class of drug? I’m down 41 lb since January, mostly steady, but the last month I’ve had intermittent RUQ discomfort radiating toward my right scapula, plus nausea after a burger.

PCP ordered labs and an ultrasound; no stones, some sludge, and we’re watching it. I don’t want to overread every twinge, but the pattern is consistent enough that I started a symptom log with timing, fat content, and pain score.

For those who’ve dealt with gallbladder stuff during loss: did your symptoms track with rapid-loss phases, higher-fat meals, or something else? Trying to separate signal from noise before my follow-up.

I’m about 14 months into my empty-nester reset—daily walks, actually cooking again—and I track in a notes app: time, rough fat grams, pain 0–10, whether it hit the right shoulder blade, and how soon after eating. My pattern was fast eating after a long gap, not just fatty meals.

Restaurant burgers did it; salmon and avocado rarely did. A slow 10-minute walk after dinner seemed to calm the twinge, but I noted that rather than treating it as a fix.

Sharp question: does yours come on within 20 minutes or more like an hour later? That timing detail helped my provider sort out what to watch.

Cafe owner here—so fatty-food temptation is literally my job. I started a stupid-simple phone note: what I ate, how fast, whether I was grazing/standing, and where the ache landed.

My RUQ pressure showed up way more after I’d nibbled buttery pastry samples all morning than after a planned sit-down meal. Have you noticed whether yours tracks more with meal speed/all-day nibbling than with fat content alone?

The scapula radiation is what would make me keep that note detailed.
