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. ..

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!

I thought it was just me. It hurts to sit for long periods of time. Church kills me.

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.

Great job! I agree you should celebrate! Even if you have to do it alone! Remember you're not really alone, we are celebrating with you! ????

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
