3 months post op & I can already tell a difference!!!!! Yayyy Me:-)

I dont get the back pain, but my left side hurts! Thanks for posting, i was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this!

I had that too. It lasted about 5 weeks. My doc said its inflammation. Your body is still getting used to a foreign body inside and it could take some time to heal. Try some Tylenol 30 minutes before a meal. A few times a day to lower inflammation. Also try sipping some warm liquid prior to your liquid meal. It's soothing and the dr recommended that to me and it helped a lot! Good luck!

I had terrible pain in my back and between my shoulder blades for 3 weeks. Talked to dr. And it was the gas they put in your stomach. Mostly gone now week 4.

My doctor did clear me to take ibuprofen. I know they restricted me to just Tylenol before surgery. I called and asked if I could try ibuprofen instead of the oxy to see if that works better and may avoid Constipation and the doctor said that was totally fine. So I will give it a shot.

I feel the same way. I started at 332 and am now 280. I jumped for joy when I left the 300's and then the 290's. I am super close to the 270's and can't wait until I am there! For now I can't even imagine the 260's!!

Anyone else get super excited with small progress?
For example:
I started at 279... I got so happy when I hit the 260s.. Again and the 250s.. And now that I hit the 240s... I'm like dancing around the house..
I personally feel that there's no progress that's too small.. But there's so many threads here where people are complaining that they only lost 30lbs..
30lbs is the same weight as a 2 year old!!!

I've always been scared and nervous to go to the doctor because I was scared I had diabetes or high blood pressure or any of that, but yesterday when I went, I wasn't nervous at all. I went in confident && it turned out perfectly. Before surgery, my blood pressure was a little high && since I've been eating great && working out every day, my blood pressure is perfectly normal!(:
I just wanted to share my excitement. Lol.

All the best to you!!

That is quick. Will be thinking of you & hoping all goes smoothly.

Completely excited and scared. Just had my pre-op appointment with my doctor - cannot believe that it is happening in two days. Started liquid diet today.
Going in: 277 lbs
5'4
Goal weight: 135
Fingers crossed that everything goes well!!
