I did not have that issue, but other people in here have. Most of them because you have to sleep in different position because of tender stomach. Make sure you getting up and moving around, not just lying/sitting around. I know it's hard early on with the discomfort, but its very important to the healing process. Good Luck.

I'm having the same exact problem my back is killing me more than ever before. my doctor believes it's because my back is used to carrying a large frame but I think that my back should be feeling a lot better that it's not carry extra weight.

I have many back issues like artritis and degenerative disks and running in the army accelerated it and has left me with little cushion betwen some of my vertebrate. I have had increasing pain and its because my already weak back muscles are not adjusting as fast to carrying 40 less pounds. I have to do a lot of back strengthing at the gym to try to keep up. As well as alot of stretching of my hips whixh if tight can cause alot of lower baxk pain too. It would seem it would be happier with less weight but I can tell such a big difference in how I walk sit lay and carry myself so its not too surprising.

I have the same issue only worse now. I hope someone else knows how to resolve this.

I was suggested yoga and Water aerobics . I've yet to try them but the low impact might do the trick

That sounds great. I have been wanting to start in on some yoga this year. I have 1-2 yoga DVDs here at home, but never tried them before because of the extra weight. Now I am much more flexible and can do twisty things with my legs and arms. Lol!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
