It does suck and every since I got lap band, my lower back hurts every time, it never did before. At first I thought it was my chair at work (desk job) and realized the pain went away after I was done. Although, the cramping and pain has gone down drastically and I no longer take midol, so I guess I lessened one pain and gained another :). You'll get through it and the only thing I could safely suggest is liquid tylenol and if you do sugar free, there are some really good Sugar Free Chocolates out there and there's always chocolate Protein Shakes.< /p>

I had four Hershey kisses last night. I logged the calories wasn't over my limit but I know I had them cuz of TOM. They've been on the counter for weeks and then I HAD to have one (ok four) last night. Ugh.

Haha he is working overtime today lol he picked a good day to go in!

I'm going rounds with myself right now.. Cause my tummy is full!!! (With my allowed portion) but I want everything!!!! Lol

Tonight ill treat myself to a no sugar added Water ice for 50 cals .. That's if I'm even hungry after dinner :/

My cramps r laughing at the Tylenol... I may take some liquid Vicodin later.. I've had severe cramping since I was 13, been tested for everything possibly medically related and I'm clear.. It's just my body :(

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
