Same issue on the egg, I'm never full off of one either, but last night I had some avaxaso with it... Yum ! Also back pain is an issue for me still. Anyone still having belly pain and can't bend too much ? ( I'm 16 days post op ). Anyone return to work ? Im going back Saturday and scared I can't hack it, I work in a very busy pharmacy, on my feet the entire shift.

I'm sorry to hear about your pain smrogg ! And you guys are taking Otc acid reflux? My doc wrote me a script generic Pepcid but pharmacy grade.

Yep @@TeeNahh I still have a pretty sensitive tummy and can't bend much without some sort of pain. My back pain has subsided but my gas pains in my shoulders is still ongoing. I also still get pretty tired if i do too much. Monday I felt so great that I was cleaning out closets and shredding old files in my home office and suddenly I was wiped out. I was so dang tired. So I still need to take it pretty easy.

I am back to work now for a week. Went back one day short of two weeks. I was so ready. I have knots in my back but other than that have been great. I even went swimming and Water walking for 2 hours yesterday and plan on doing it today because it is my day off.

Update on my back pain and reflux: I went to the dr and the reflux feeling is actually food getting stuck. Dr told me to go back to Stage 2...ugh! But that's not the worst of it. The back pain my dr suspects is kidney stones! Apparently it's common for Gastric Bypass patients to get because our diets are high in Protein. I have to drink lots of water...which pretty much I'll be sipping all day. And I just have to let it pass. He gave me some liquid Tylenol with Codeine but that's just taking the edge off. It's gonna be a rough couple of days. I just hope it passes soon.

I hope you feel better soon. I am glad they found out what was going on. Did he or she say that a particular food was getting stuck?

That's great!! I'm glad your feeling better. I am not drinking enough fluids. Which cause my heart rate to elevate. I am now drinking Pedialyte to help restore my electrolytes. So yes ma'am having the proper Fluid intake is important.

How much fluids do you guys think you're actually drinking a day ? I can't get past 1 liter. Scary to know that could happen to me, I'm sorry you went through that !

      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?

      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
