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

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
