  1. Im 11 post op and doing fine till tonight. I had a taco and felt fine till about hour after. I have this brick in my stomach pain and pressure. Its been 4 hours and its not going away. It gets worse if I eat or drink water. I don't know if it's trapped gas or if I somehow damaged my stomach. Its located mid back through lower ribs.
  2. I keep getting a lot of back pain every few weeks (normally times I'm dropping weight fast). My Dr doesn't know anything about it. It's my middle back and it gets so bad along my rib cage bothers me. Is this normal ? Or am I doing something wrong? Afraid I'm eating too much or sitting wrong.
  3. So what can you do about it? I always have low blood pressure or great they say. Its hard because I just jump up to go pee, so something, etc. That's when it hits hard and I have to wait a few mins holding onto something. Then I'll feel better. I thought it might low blood sugar but some days I've eaten nothing to effect my blood sugar.
  4. I drink 64-80 oz water a day and get least 60g protein
  5. Is this normal ? It's only everytime I stand up from sitting or get up. I feel like passing out. I'm on cymbalta but Dr said should have plenty of intestine to absorb it all. Wondering what the cause is. Any ideas?
  6. That's awesome. Yea i just eat very slow at the theatre with no butter then take the bag home for my kids.
  7. I think that's what I have. It's very low carb and sugar. Blue bunny?
  8. Ok I notice my body feels gooshy where before it felt firmed. So just this mental block that I'm doing something wrong comes in. Its discouraging when you're working out daily. Going on jogs even and this happens. Thank you that helped me a lot!
  9. I'm at 7 months and haven't changed weight In a week. I'm scared it's done
  10. Any good ice cream types I can eat? Really hard to find yogurt or ice cream sugar free.
  11. Ok I was told each meal between 21-25 carbs and snacks under 15 carbs. Sugar just try to avoid it all and eat all sugar free. That's really hard though. I have a huge sugar tooth that pops up every now and then.
  12. Lol yea I love popcorn. My Dr said as long as I'm getting my protein and water in its fine.
  13. I'm 5'7 176.8 this morning (period ending today). Goal weight 130-140 ish.
  14. How far out are you ?
  15. What for meals is good to stay below for sugar grams ? Also how many carbs were you told to stay around?
