Anyone have horrible lower back ache during the pre op diet? I'm on Day 3 and I know the headaches are caffeine withdrawal but this painful backache is scaring me. I was a 2-3 day glass of wine drinker. Any ideas? Should I take a Tylenol pm? It feels as if I've slept in bed with a 3 yr old. Help please

Do you seem dehydrated? That could be your kidneys hurting........ This is just a guess on my part, so don't take it too seriously. Maybe increase water intake and see if that helps.

Yup I agree mayb some water would b good.. Maybe a decaf tea

I was thinking kidneys too....

Wow, I was in shoprite today and my back right side starting to ache. I said please don't let it be my kidneys, I start my preop on Monday. I just payed I don't want anything to go wrong as I was shopping for my pre op water and lean cuisines. My endoscopy is Thursday. Hope everything goes well, I get sleeved on 6/24. Please pray for me

Prayers going out to u now

More tired than usual, hating life right now not hungry cause I only have like two shakes a day I cant stomach them, but just bored with the horrendous taste. Ughh , cant wait till its over and done with already. If it is kidneys you may want to drink drink drink. Im not a doc just something I have heard.

My urine is clear because I've been drinking water all day

Yes, I though it was just my nerves and stress, but mine hit 9 days in. I'm plenty hydrated, drinking 15 glasses of Water a day. I'm on Tylenol and using a heating pad. The heating pad has been the big healer for me so far.

Thanks thanks Prettynpink1982 I so appreciate it. I think it may be my water intake. I really don't have any but I'm on it now, I sometimes used to get so dehydrated, then medical center and i.v. It was. But that's something I have to stop doing. But thank you
