Topic: Post op Back Pain???
I've been having a lot of back pain that I've never had before.. That was the one thing that I complained about after my surgery and it has continued.. I know early post-op that is has to do with positioning during surgery, but 3 months out it still hurts on a daily basis.. Also my left knee hurts a lot too.It's like a throbbing pain that last for like 15-20minutes then stops.. Before I had knee pain after standing for long periods, but now it's like out of no where it will just start hurting.. The knee pain I can deal with cause it doesn't happen all the time, but my back hurts everyday. I'm going to ask Dr. Dolan about it, but I really don't know what can be done.. I thought taking weight off was supposed to help with back & joint pain not make it worse.. Has anyone else had this problem or is it just me?
Topic: RE: what one piece of clothing are you going to miss?
After years of being uncomfortable in jeans that never fit right, I found a pair just this past spring that I fell in love with. I went back to the store where I bought them to try and get a smaller pair, but they don't have them anymore. I am really going to miss those jeans!
Topic: RE: Are you still sipping your fluids?
I, too, had a difficult time getting the water down. The only thing that worked for me was to simply add a slice of lemon or a squirt of lemon juice to the water. Last week, I was finally able to drink the water plain again.

Topic: RE: Is your spouse jealous?
Hi Tammy,
I think that they all get insecure. I have lost 50 lbs. and my husband can't keep his hands off of me. I should be flattered, but it gets on my nerves at times. I try not to make him feel rejected. The problem that I have is that I felt rejected before I lost the 50lbs. and now he's all over me. I know that he loves me but, it doesn't make me feel good. Weight loss is a big adjustment. Hang in there and let him know how you feel about him and about yourself. Sometimes it helps for others to realize that the weight loss is a blessing for your health and not just for appearance.
Be Blessed!

Topic: RE: help me
I don't have a trainer. Too expensive. Doing it on my own and kinda just getting back into walking/exercise/etc. I got my energy completely zapped by the surgery, so it feels like it's just now coming back. I walked before surgery and am getting back to that now. I got an ablounger off of craigslist and am started on that as well. I do feel like I get tired easily, but it seems to be getting better. I have no idea about lifting, but I do know I am past the 10 lb restriction postop.
Would be curious to know if it's similar for others too.

Do you or how do you work out. If you have a trainer, can you tell me what you did with your trainer and how you felt what u r doing now for example what you can lift or do? Did he or she do any fitness test on you take any measurements?
How often do you guys exercise? How long can you walk are you still week, or get tired easily? How do you feel about going to a gym? Did you work out or go to a gym before the surgery?
It may be better to send me the info to my personal e-mail [email protected]
And If I send you some information sheets can you fill them out for me? You do not have to put your name or any personal info like that on it. These would be the forms that I would give my client
just to get a basic background of someone like you. It has been a year and a half for me so I don't remember where I was at that point. Do you have fax? I so appreciate your help!!!!
It may be better to send me the info to my personal e-mail [email protected]
