Since I've lost this initial weight--about 27 lb. --I've been having a lot of muscle soreness in my back. I do exercise, including light strength training. I have a 2 year old mattress that was fine pre surgery. But I've been pretty uncomfortable and it's actually getting worse. At first I thought it was my desk chair at work, but it's Saturday and it's still a problem.

So I was wondering if anyone else has gone through this, or if it might be my body and muscles having to readjust to this change? I always visualize my weight loss in terms of 5lb bags of potatoes. And I have dropped 5+ of them.

Any thoughts?

PS I had one massage post surgery and have groupons for two more.

I am 3 weeks post op and I have lost a total of 50lbs (this includes pre op diet). I woke up this morning with the same problem. I have been walking every day to keep my muscles going, but this morning I woke up with a sore back. I wasn't sure if it was because of the weight loss, but maybe it is. I did not have this problem before the surgery.

Well i would say.... Get your gallbladder checked - i had soreness too, totally thought it was my matteress... um not so much... I feel so much -
