I know it sounds crazy, but I had constant back pain for over a year, it went away for about 8 months and now it's back.

Has anyone else experienced low back pain/tail bone pain AFTER losing weight? Perhaps my body is majorly out of alignment from losing almost 80lbs in 6 months?

I have constant lower back pain. My doc said it is probably from losing the weight so fast and my back is trying to catch up but the muscles aren't strong enough. He said heat and light stretches are needed. A friend of mine recommended that I get a heated mattress pad. I got mine at Bed Bath and Beyond. Kind of expensive but ohhhhhhhh so worth it!!!

I have had back pain forever... deteorating disc disease, arthritis and bone spurs in my spine.

You should go get it checked out but in the mean time do not do any exercise that has impact on the spine.

Good luck !!!!!

I complained of this a while back and Renebean explained it to me like this:

You know how pregnant women get back pain? It's the same thing!! Our bodies are used to dealing with our weight in a certain alignment, and when we lose, that alignment shifts and our muscles have to go and get used to that. It makes perfect sense to me... especially now that I'm stuck and my back doesn't hurt, lol..

Thanks everyone!

So far today the pain isn't that bad. I have noticed that doing a great deal of walking seems to help. I had the same problem during my pregnancy and after giving birth to my daughter.

I did visit with a Chiropractor then (after my baby was born) and honestly left there in MORE pain most of the time than I went in with. He had a RMT doing deep tissue massages and it didn't help. I quit going and the pain went away.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
