  1. Im 11 post op and doing fine till tonight. I had a taco and felt fine till about hour after. I have this brick in my stomach pain and pressure. Its been 4 hours and its not going away. It gets worse if I eat or drink water. I don't know if it's trapped gas or if I somehow damaged my stomach. Its located mid back through lower ribs.

    a lot of back pain?

    I keep getting a lot of back pain every few weeks (normally times I'm dropping weight fast). My Dr doesn't know anything about it. It's my middle back and it gets so bad along my rib cage bothers me. Is this normal ? Or am I doing something wrong? Afraid I'm eating too much or sitting wrong.
  3. Is this normal ? It's only everytime I stand up from sitting or get up. I feel like passing out. I'm on cymbalta but Dr said should have plenty of intestine to absorb it all. Wondering what the cause is. Any ideas?

    lightheadedness when standing up

    So what can you do about it? I always have low blood pressure or great they say. Its hard because I just jump up to go pee, so something, etc. That's when it hits hard and I have to wait a few mins holding onto something. Then I'll feel better. I thought it might low blood sugar but some days I've eaten nothing to effect my blood sugar.

    I drink 64-80 oz water a day and get least 60g protein
  6. I'm at 7 months and haven't changed weight In a week. I'm scared it's done
  7. 7 months out and I'm loving popcorn! Is that ok?
  8. I was 258 day of surgery Oct 22, today 7 months later I'm 177. I just feel I have this mental block that I'm not going to lose enough. I'm working out and staying around 600-1200 calories. Just weight loss has slowed lately. Am I paranoid or is it normal to feel this way? Thanks
  9. What for meals is good to stay below for sugar grams ? Also how many carbs were you told to stay around?

    how long before your weight loss stopped?

    Ok I notice my body feels gooshy where before it felt firmed. So just this mental block that I'm doing something wrong comes in. Its discouraging when you're working out daily. Going on jogs even and this happens. Thank you that helped me a lot!

    Any good ice cream types I can eat? Really hard to find yogurt or ice cream sugar free.

    what gram of sugar do you stick below

    Ok I was told each meal between 21-25 carbs and snacks under 15 carbs. Sugar just try to avoid it all and eat all sugar free. That's really hard though. I have a huge sugar tooth that pops up every now and then.

    is it ok to eat popcorn often?

    I was told to avoid it until after the last did stage. So I waited for for months. I do just fine with it. I love tender white, kettle corn, lightly salted. I do really well with all of them.

    afraid not going to lose enough

    Thank you! I'm trying to do more. Get out walking more. Did first 5k last week and pushed double stroller. That was something big I did for me. Just panic sometimes and obsess over everything at moments. Do you weigh week of your period of and weigh ins?
