The back pain sounds normal. I had it also. I went to the doctor yesterday for my one week post op visit and he said that it was fine. There may still be some gas trapped. Walk and take Mylanta chews. That should do the trick. Good luck.

Congrats to you! I didn't have back pain, but many do and it's normal. Concentrate on Water first, Protein, and Vitamins. As for an app for logging, most of us use My Fitness Pal. Do a search on this site and you'll find tons of info. Speedy recovery to you!

I use myfitnesspal.com I have to take 4 optisource Vitamins a day and I'm not good at remembering them. (seriously this will be tmi but I'm tired of orange pee and orange Water coming out of both ends). I also have lower back pain, which I have never had before, I use an ice pack and that seems to help. Walk, sip, take Gas X and it will help. It's a good idea to start keep tracking of liquids, Protein etc. now.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
