Could be your gall bladder... Go to your doctor!

If it's in the lower back could be your kidneys. I'd get it checked out soon.

I had all sorts of pain- upper back, left isde kidneys,, it was Constipation, if you sure you are OK there, call the DR- I took the milk of magnesia and had NO clue I was so constipated from surgery meds and protiens etc... 2 days later was a new woman.

hey. thx for all the comments. im still not sure what it was/is, but its going away. i was pretty sure it wasnt kidneys and or gall bladder because it was higher up that that. its possible its partly Constipation. its hard to tell since im not going to go the same amount i did before just from the food volume diiference. lol. might be my body trying to get used to the change. idk. but its going away i think. :)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
