When you get tired of compliments from people

Hello everyone I am almost 5 months post op , lost 85 pounds and I am facing real back pain problems whenever I do some physical work like walking for a fair distance or even sitting in a chair for couple hours , the top left of my back hurts real bad. anyone else with similar problems ?

no this is not gas , whenever I do some physical work like walking a fair distance, the pain immediately starts, even sitting in a chair can cause it.

anyone with upper left back pain ?

Hello everyone I found this forum newly and I see everyone saying they are taking Protein shakes while my surgeun didnt describe it for me , I am not taking any food with protein , I am 2 weeks post op and only drinking orange juice and other fruit juices , toast and yougart. My surgeun says I should stay like that untill I hit 1 month while everybody here starts with puree in the second week. I am confused. Also I lost 7 kilos and the scale stopped dropping for 5 days now but there is physical improvement

Sleeved on 5th august down 50 lbs Feeling awesome , I wear clothes I couldn't wear ever Hoping I can stay on the right track !

Still following my doctor's plan , I had a stall for 5 days then I lost 4.5 kg 11.5 kg down in 19 days

I was sleeved on august 5 and this happens to me too , its when I eat without chewing much , today I took a pill and it got stuck in my throat , then I got some burps and was about to throw it up , and Water couldnt solve it so I ate a small piece of toast then they went down. Slow down when eating and chew chew chew.

Well my doctor studied the gastric sleeve in france maybe it's related, thank you I feel better now

I am focusing on it since I like it and it's available

All these comments are making me depressed because I feel my doctor is doing something wrong , I called and he confirmed I should stick with what he told me to eat ( toast , greek yogurt and all kind of natural juice ) He did this hundreds of times and did this diet with all his patients and I see positive outcomes from almost everybody I spoke to.

I'm in lebanon , I don't think we have any support groups here. Thank you guys for your suggestions they are all noted.

Where I live it's hard to find ready made protein shakes , there is though protein powders like (gnc whey protein powder) , they use these in body building , is this the protein I should get ?

My doctor gives really vague instructions I am not comfortable asking him questions for help , what do you recommend ? Should I improvise?
