Tingly feeling



Recommended Posts

After walking for a while, or anytype of aerobics I guess.. Does anyone else get the tingles in there legs or anything? I've had that my whole life and always joked that it was the fat burning. But thought if ask on here- anyone know what that is?

I think it is normal to have some tingling during moderate activity, as if I remember correctly, as working out causes the small muscle fibers to rip slightly so they can regenerate themselves (during resting periods) to become stronger. If it happens when you are not exercising, you may have a pinched nerve somewhere in your back. I have a pinched nerve in my elbow which causes tingling and an internal itchiness sensation. I usually feel a similar sensation after working out, but since the symptoms come and go at other times, I knew there was something wrong (which is when I went to see my doctor). Hope this helps!

Thanks! When I was heavier, I used to work out with personal trainers at a small gym near where I lived. For me, it was the best option as I didn't have to be seen at the gym with all the "thin" people who would just look at my and stare. The trainers not only helped with the exercises, but explained much of the anatomy about how your muscles get stronger and why you need to alternate days between weight training.

Is the tingling on the outside of your legs, especially the outside of your thighs? If so, that can actually be from a nerve being irritated by movement. It's very common in overweight people (including myself).

Lol I dunno I think qt may be right in thinking its the muscle. It's not like the skin hurts or anything it just feels weird. It also kinda tingles on the tops and backside of my thighs :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
