I hear you. My L3 area is fricken killing me along with my whole tailbone area. You can't push anywhere from L4-S2 because it's so inflamed. Then there is my neck. He got deep with his fingers in the vertebrae yesterday. I really wanted to kick him in his balls it hurt so bad.

We are SO the same! Cant touch my low back tailbone area either. It is so tender even to the slightest touch. Especially today cuz I was sitting on a picnic table. ; (

So I just need to get this out. I have been having a huge problem with Constipation. (Sorry if its a tmi) so today after trying everything the last 10 days and nothing. I racked my brain to try and remember what was sure fire pre surgery. Chinese food it was. Had 6 shrimps from a shrimp and garlic sauce. along with a few pieces of the vegetables. And sure as shit. (No pun intended) within the hour I felt relief!! Thank god for Chinese food lol.

Great idea! I should try a mc double next time! ;)

Okay i am not postop but my tailbone gets so sore on airplanes! So i always bring a little pillow to sit on. I used to also get a thin slit sore (like a papercut) in the crease between buttocks- but not since i use a pillow- or pool noodle!

Currently i am sitting in my recliner on two pieces of pool noodles, just in front of my tailbone to float it. Also put two pieces of flattened pool noodles behind my neck, and one in the small of my back. This is very comfy for me. My low back feels pretty good with that one pool noodle for a back pillow.

Pool noodles are 99cents at the dollar store, & cut easily with a knife. I cut about 16 inch pieces to sit on.

Maybe you could try this. ..

I did so bad this weekend on eating and Water intake. Didnt eat bad but got no where near Protein. Was with my family all weekend and I found that I really need to prepare more when im gone. Since I really never go anywhere, I didnt think ahead. My mom said, " wow its alot to learn!" Also had 2 beers which didnt hurt me but I cant keep that up or ill be right back where I started! Tomorrow is a new day and im gonna focus!

It takes one time not having protein or water. I now pack frozen water prorein bars, cheese and Protein Drinks premade.

I was not a drinker before. Beer is yucky lol.

We all slip throuh the cracks. I made the mistake of not putting sugar free ice cream and ate it out of the carton. Huge mistake. I was watching tv and loked down and holy cow. Well needless to say horrible gas pain and farting that scared the dogs away.

Note to self. Do not buy things that i dont have self control over.

      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?

      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.
