I'm not sure if these are coincidence or not but I've been having a lot of difficulty lately with stuck episodes and acid reflux. Since these have been causing problems, my back started aching. Has anyone else had this experience?

Have you tried a liquid diet for a day to see if the back pains decrease or go away? Maybe go a day with shakes, Soups or slider foods to see if the restriction is the issue?

Yes, I did try that. Several times. I am at the point now that I haven't eaten anything solid for about 2 weeks now. I'm fine with sliders and Soup, but the minute I try something solid, I get stuck and heave until it all comes up and BAM, my back is sore again. I'm so tired of this. I have 0 Fluid in my band. All was taken out back in March but still have restriction problems. I had an upper gi in July and it showed there were no problems with the placement of the band. So I'm at a loss, but I do know that I've bs enough of feeling this way. I have an appointment on Sept 3rd to finally get to the bottom of this.

      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.
