Has anyone had any muscle pain? I'm two months out. I first noticed a shin splint type pain out of nowhere. Hurts when I go to stand up. After a few steps I'm fine. Been a couple weeks now. Then, tonight out of nowhere, it feels like I have a pulled muscle on my inner thigh. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary. My thigh was fine an hour ago. Wierd. I'm gonna be sure to increase my H2o, and potassium . Just wondering if any of you know anything about it. Thanks, mendy

I haven't heard of anything like that. I would try the potassium too and more Water. Try a heating pad if you have one. Good luck.

Several women in a different VSG group who are 5 months out are having leg cramps from lack of potassium per their docs. Because its traveling, I would read the criteria for blood clots/DVT just to be safe. The sensations are different.

Can I know what group? I am almost 5 months out and having upper thigh pain that keeps me awake at night and makes me uncomfortable when sitting, standing seems to be the only way I am comfortable. Plan to go to the doctor after Christmas, was hoping to wait until my Jan. 3rd check up but feel like I can't wait it hurts too much

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
