Has anyone experienced any back pain? I had no problems pre-RNY but the last several days have had terrible pain in left lower back. I've read could be from spine alignment due to the rapid weight loss?

Have you been eating right and taking your Vitamins. If not then go to doc because that may be malnutrition effecting renal.

You're not using your core muscles, so your back is doing all the work your front used to do. Strengthen your core and the back pain will subside.

I do agree on the CORE. This is my extreme lower back only on left, in one spot I can point to-started day after I did my daily walk at my parents farm (uneven surface-gravel, dirt, hills)

I have all kinds of back problems but after surgery they have become maddening. I have to see a Chiropractor very often and it helps alot

My surgery was 10/23/12--5 weeks ago. I don't know the soonest, I just called my dr and he suggested I try it for my back pain.

      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.
