Weight before surgery: 274 Sleeved 7/17/2012 Current weight 227.5 Goal weight for 10-31: 210

So I got my surgery July 17th yayyy! But ever since I came home I have been getting this weird hot tingling feeling on my legs. I am getting extremely worried. Has anyone experienced this?

I was getting that feeling 24/7 as well. I get it now sometimes too. Are you drinking a lot of Water? Intaking enough Protein? When I told my doctor about it she said if you see your leg getting swollen then you should worry bc those are signs of blood clotting. Other than that she said those side effects were normal. Good luck with your doctor appt. I am sure it isn't anything bad.

Thanks! I was hoping for more. I need to get in my protein and water...oh and exercise!

Ok so my weight loss had slowed down. and I still haven't signed up at a gym. Shame on me!!!! I need to do this. Today's weigh in 231.5

Weigh in for today is 231! I'm losing sloooowly, but hey I'm still losing!

Exactly 1 month and 10 days out. 43 lbs down!!!!! My before and now :-) [ATTACH]4584[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]4585[/ATTACH]

Thank you all for your comments It's been an awesome experience so far. Trying on clothes is no longer depressing. Now I have to work on working out. To me that's the hard part, but I know I can do it. The fun has just begun! There is no better feeling than being happy with yourself :-D

My surgeon suggested taking biotin if I was experiencing hair loss. Good luck!!!

Has anyone gotten stomach pain while eating? Everytime I eat I get stomach pains and growling while I eat. It goes away after 2 mins. Then I have another bite and again it repeats.

Hmmm...idk I get that feeling with one bite. So I don't think I'm full with one bite. I see my surgeon Thursday for my one month post op appt. I will see what she has to say and fill you in with the info I receive.

I'm in!!! Sleeved 7/17/2012 Pre-surgery weight: 274 CW: 240.6 GW: 220 I'm working out starting tomorrow and definitely take in more Protein and liquids. :-)

Too be honest I don't know if I had a second surgeon and if I did I don't know the name. :-X

Dr.Lisa Dobruskin in Hamilton. Love her!

I'm in Princeton not too far from Trenton. Where's Ocean County?

Michelle I am in Princeton, NJ. where in SJ are you?

I am begining to lose girl friends because of my weight loss, they don't even know about the surgery they think I am on a diet and working out (didn't feel too comfortable telling them). They always want to go out and eat and I always give an excuse bc I cant go out and eat yet and their response is "I forgot your skinny mini now". It makes me so upset. All my family is in NYC and I'm out here in Jersey and now I have no one to hang out with. I guess I learned who my real friends are.

Yesterday I made refried beans with some ff cheese and also made tuna (pureed) to bring into work today. So I had my refried beans and very little of tuna just to try it and five minutes later I got this horrible lower back pain. I dont know if it was gas or what it was but it didnt go away for about two hours. Now I am scared to eat. I have been having baby food and I was fine. Has this happened to anyone?
