I had lower back pain about that time. I also noticed that my posture was bad. I'm not sure what it is, but it might have something to do with weight re-distribution. I worked on my core trunk muscles and learned to sit straight.

My lower- mid lumbar has been very sore since surgery. I use ice packs on it a lot. My tailbone also hurts from sitting more than usual. I'm 11 days out and today is the first day I almost feel human. I also had to take a sock and cut the foot out and the top out and put e-ointment on my right elbow. It seems I used my right elbow to get out of bed and to prop while trying to twist to take care of personal business and I caused my elbow to be raw. My back is starting to feel a little better. I still have sharp pains in my left shoulder, though I walk a lot and take a lot of gas medication.

I've been having lower back pain as well. For me, it comes from walking. I'm big and I have a huge pannus and I think it's just pulling on my back.

I'm rather frustrated because I deserpately need to exercise, but virtually everytime I do I pull something. My second week I pulled my right groin muscle and right lower back. Once that was feeling better, I pulled something in my left lower back. And no, I'm not walking an excessive amount. I'm doing 10-15 minute walks.

I think I need to lose another 50 pounds and then I should be "small" enough to fit in the largest-sized compression garmets. Hopefully that will help me.

I got back pain and it turned out to be chest wall syndrome. Very painful but fixable.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
