Very bad back pains
FrankinTexas replied to Karlnjax's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Karl! I have had some upper back pain, but I am thinking mine is exercise related. You may want to check with your doctor just to be on the safe side. -

4 Weeks Post-Op
FrankinTexas replied to FrankinTexas's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for the advice, guys. I find that my tastes are changing and am not able to tolerate protein drinks like I once was. I have been using Unjury, but have also tried Premier Protein. -

Once getting home from the hospital.....

I slept one night in my recliner, but then slept fine in the bed. I propped some pillows around myself. I was lucky that my incisions did not cause me any pain. -
4 Weeks Post-Op

Great job, Tcon!!! -

Hi friends! Yesterday was my 4 week post-op. Things are going well. I have been able to tolerate soft foods and am beginning to add "regular" goods a little at a time. The only issue I have is the one that most of you have talked about.......constipation. It is a struggle to get in the 80 grams of Protein and 64 ounces of Fluid, but I will continue to strive to make it!

How long to walk?
FrankinTexas replied to Karlnjax's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Karl, I am now 4 weeks out and just now able to walk about 30 minutes. Take it easy. I had very little energy the first two weeks and just walked in my house; however, I live in Texas where the lows have been in the 80s and the highs have been 100-101. That was another good reason to walk in the house! lol -
