Am I the only person that had surgery on July 11 that can't walk that much due to back pain (prob gas)? I've been walking inside of my house not much but a little. I sit with my back on heating pad and it eases it a little. I'm just afraid that I won't lose hardly any weight by my follow up on Aug 10. My scales shows about 9 pounds down since the surgery but I feel it should be more......anyone else feeling this way?

My surgery was on the 11th and I feel the same way as you I'm afraid of not losing enough for my follow up, but lets keep walking as much as we can.

Best of luck :)

I barely walked at all for 3 weeks. And I still don't exercise as much as I should be. I was 40lbs down at my 1st month check up last week. I don't have a gym membership yet and its been 100 degrees here. Walking at night is not safe in my neck of the woods. I'm joining a gym next week when I get paid

Hi. I'm new here. I had surgery on July 4th. I had gas pain so badly in my shoulders that I just started sleeping in my bed a few days ago. My first few days home I had to sleep in a lazy boy chair. My back hurts and I use a heating pad constantly.

I had the same pains too but it turned out i had a pouch of Fluid near my ribs that developed right after surgery. When in doubt, always ask for a catscan. I ended up with a chest tube and pneumonia for a month

      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.
