Hello, sorry this is going to be long. I hope someone will have advice. I had Rny in July of 2014. Since surgery I have been extremely exhausted. I have had my blood work done. Many times. My hands and feet go numb. I have a vibration in my left foot that feels like I am stepping on a cell phone on vibrate. Sometimes I get dizzy even when sitting. And my feet will sometimes just not work. It's all mostly in my left foot. Sometimes I have a hard time lifting it and it feels like it's not there. I also get body tremors. Mostly my hands. Sometimes my whole body. They have tested my bloodwork, did a CT scan looking for ms or brain cancer. They have done an emg. I have seen a neurologist whom looks at me like I'm insane. I am about 10 pounds under my goal weight. And I either keep losing or stay where I am at. My bariatric program has high turnover for all their staff from Dr's to secretaries so I have been doing all my follow up with my primary Dr. I take a multi Vitamin, Calcium with Vitamin D, Biotin, fish oil, b12, and Iron ( iron every other day so I don't get constipated) potassium and magnesium. I was doing them all twice a day but my neurologist took me off of them all to see if I was having a reaction. I added them back in once a day myself because i started getting horrible migranes. I juse added b complex and a vitimin d pill to see of that would help. So far it helped with body tremors but my hands still shake and I still have all other symptoms. I'm tired of seeing Dr's. I just want to feel half way normal. Any advice would be appreciated. Sorry it's so long.

RJC Thank you for the reply. I am desperate. I will mention this to my Dr. I am afraid I am going to end up losing my job one day.

Angel I eat whatever I want. Just a few bites. Maybe try that?

I have my shakes as my breakfast and my lunch. Then eat whatever my family is having for dinner.

I have noticed that too! I just thought I was getting sick or an ear infection and then it would go away! Never even thought it was weight loss related...thanks!

I sip on my Protein shakes and on my Water all day long. I work in a call center so I'm sipping on either through out the day. Usually in the 8.5 hours at work I take in 32oz of water and 24 oz Protein shake. I don't wait 30 mins before or after with shakes.

Thanks mrsaizsha! Mostly it is all diet. I drink a Protein shake for Breakfast and one for lunch and eat whatever my family eats for dinner. I eat whatever I want just a small amount. I do try to walk at least 2 miles a day but wisconsin weather has not been so nice to me. I am trying to get into some sort of exercise routine. But so far I haven't figured it all out yet.

2 months ago today I had my surgery. Today I hit my first goal of losing 50 pounds!

here is my before/after so far! I feel like a new person!

way to go for you too! I am also doing my first 5k! But I am doing it on the 21st for the breast cancer race for the cure.

I do not track anything. I am never hungry during the day so I drink 2 protein shakes at work and eat whatever my family has at dinner. Then I usually have some string cheese or cottage cheese or some kind of lite snack later in the day

My surgery went well I was set to go home after 2 nights and then I had a bad reaction to the morphine and had to stay 2 more nights.

Great job! How are you drinking so much? I am fighting to get enough fluids in and I sip all day long!

Did you mean 80 cathurst?

I am getting over 70 grams most days. My Dr said to get 85-90. So that is what I have been trying for.

My hair is falling out a lot too. I am afraid to brush it. I have been taking Biotin for a long time. Like 3 or for months pre opt. I hope this passes quickly.

It's ok Angel. We had a big formal dinner with my husbands company last night I had half a glass of wine that lasted my all night and a bite of cheesecake that was heaven. Today I weigh 2 pounds more than yesterday. So now I have to step it up today!

I had a rough first 3 weeks. I am at 6 weeks now and I feel great. Besides not being able to eat much I do not feel like I had surgery at all. One morning you will wake up and just feel good.

I guess I didn't get real good guidelines on eating. I didn't know I should eat 6 times a day. I was given stages and such but that is about it. My first Dr retired during my 6 month Dr supervised diet so I got a new Dr on month 4. I work in a call center. So I make 2 Protein shakes in the morning and sip on them and Water all day. Then I eat dinner with my family. Usually I have to have a bite of something a bit later in the day too. Usually string cheese. It has worked for me so far.

Yesterday was my six week mark post op. I have been feeling a little down because in that time I have only lost 39 pounds. I feel like I should be loosing more and I feel like time (honeymoon) is slipping away. People comment that I look great. Even people I haven't seen in awhile that didn't know I had surgery. I only see it in my face. I Know I'm losing weight, I went down 2 sizes in pants and my shirts are fitting better or loose. I just wish I would see it in the mirror.

I had surgery July 9th. I had a rough start. I had a reaction to the morphine which caused me to stay in the hospital for 4 days instead of 2. I also developed am infection in one of my incisions. Everything is cleared up and I feel great. I am down 40 pounds. I am back to work full time. I walk 2 miles on my breaks during work and walk some more when I get home.

I bought 2 huge bottles of liquid Vitamins. I opened it up. Smelled the and gaged. I can't bring my self to drink them. Right now I have gummed. I least until this bottle is gone. Then I think I'll switch to prenatal ones. If anyone wants liquid vitamins from GNC let me know.

I had bad dry mouth too. Idk if I had bad breath. No one told me I did lol. I didn't get thrush from surgery but I did get my first ever yeast infection. That was not fun!

I had a lot of pain too. And developed an infection right after. I was asking myself. Why did I do this?? And then one day the pain just went away. Stay strong! It is with it! I am 6 weeks out with no pain at all and 40 pounds down.

I just went to a buffet for the first time since surgery (6weeks) last night for my youngest daughters birthday. I had a couple bites of steak some veggies and a spoonful of sugar free chocolate pudding. I most likely didn't get my Protein in for dinner. But I didn't over eat, eat too fast, or get sick. Of course I didn't "get our money's worth" on as much as I ate. However it wasn't about that. It was about spending time together celebrating a birthday. I have wasted money on far more stupid things.
