Ever since surgery I cant get comfortable sitting. My back feels so uncomfortable like it has a catch. I dont know if it has anything to do with surgery but it is so annoying. I am constantly twisting and turning trying to find a way to sit. Driving is so bad too! Anyone else?

I have had similar issues with my back. I think because I have been trying so hard not to hurt my front (incisions and port site) that I have hurt my back in the process.

I have been using a heating pad on my back when I am sitting and it helps. You could also try one of those adhesive heat wrap pads for work. I have also been doing some walking periodically, just to stretch out those muscles somewhat.

Good luck to you!

Thanks Amy,

I thought it may have something to do with sleeping in different positions. I think I need to do some back strengthening excercises. I will definitely mention this to my doc when I follow up.

      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.
