Two weeks into the second phase of food, I am feeling extremely tired mostly in the afternoons and with a upper back pain (into the ribs area) which I never had before surgery. My doctor said the tiredness can be lack of hydration and the back pain can be due to changes into my posture due to the loss of weight. Any idea. I can barely move in the afternoons and the worst thing is that I am a wedding photographer and my jod is mostly in the afternoon and night.

I'm not sure what could be causing your back pain, but are you taking your Vitamins and B12? The lack could cause fatigue. Good luck!

Ik gas pains can be in ribs nd shoulders, have u thot about gas? But then again, y just in the afternoons? Idk, sry. Is it happening after uve worked, perhaps doc is right concerning posture readjustments. Get heating pad nd use b4 nd after ur sessions, or just use it period for pain relief. Sry. :(

I had terrible upper back pain (my only pain)in hospital. This is the only reason I take pain medicine. Now it is mainly in morning and in evening. Sometimes during the day, but the med makes me tired so I try not to take it.

I sit up in a chair, walk, and lay down.. still doesn't help.

I also have pain in my upper back - mostly across the back not the front. My understanding is that it is the gas that was used during our surgery working it's way out. I also only get it at certain times - don't have it all the time. So, I think what you are experiencing will eventually go away.

I had the same pain you describe. It was gas. I didn't think that was possible but I had it for a very long time. Now at almost 6 weeks out, I no longer have it. But it took a good 4 weeks before the back pain stopped.

      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.

      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!!
