I am down 55lbs currently experiencing back problems. My upper part of my back hurts that I must lay down to soothe the pain. When I was overweight i hardly ever had these problem n now I pretty much experience it almost everyday. Has anyone had problems like this after surgery?

Hi, yes i get exactly the same I understand this is due to significant weight loss and realigning your posture. Mine is a lot better now I'm almost 90lbs down and I know my posture has changed quite a bit.

Oh ok UK-Molly that makes sense. I do notice my husband always telling me to stop hunching my back n to stand straight....lol so that might be my problem posture. Do u think I should wear a girdle to help with my posture?

If the back pain is happening soon after eating it can be because you are eating too fast. This is a common problem for RNY patients I am told. Try really slowing down when you eat and see if that helps.

If it's a burning pain in the center it can be an ulcer. Tell your doc

      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.
