Ok guys I have a question. I had my surgery 3/12/14 and since then I've lost 80 pounds. Well for the past month or more my stomach and legs constantly feel sore to touch and they have a tingling sensation almost as if on the verge of going to sleep. It's weird feeling! I'm wondering if maybe it's bc of my extra skin pulling down to make it sore ?? I don't know anyone else have this feeling?? I go to my doctor this Thursday to see what he has to say.

I really don't know. It's a good thing you're going to see your surgeon. Let us know what they say!

So I am 12 weeks out and only consuming 400-450 calories per day. My surgeon said I should be getting no less than 900-1000 calories a day at three months out. I don't understand how I could possibly eat that much, I'd have to force myself to eat all day long! I feel like I am sucking at this.

How's everyone doing 4 months out? I feel great. I have been having some issues with low blood sugar but I'm trying to be extra vigilant about watching out for carbs and sugar and that's helping.

Here I am. Down almost 80lbs and 1 pair of glasses. I had Lasik and PRK before my WLS after wearing glasses since I was in first grade so needless to say my overall appearance has changed a lot the last year.

I'm not quite 4 months yet (3/18/14), but have been doing pretty well. I'm down several sizes and 70 pounds. I'm much more active and feel so much better. My arthritis has also eased up some, I'm sure due to less stress on my joints. Some days I still struggle to get my Water in, but for the most part, this has been a very good experience.

I'm down about 60lbs since surgery (3-17-14). Just had total hip replacement surgery on 6-17 so had to lose the 10 lbs of Fluid added and the lack of exercise. Needless to say I am very pleased and feel so much better!

[PLUUSGRL 13]

Is anybody else having a problem with slow weight loss and Fluid retention? What I mean is my weight loss can be really slow then all of a sudden it will pick up and I will lost 5 to 10 pounds relatively quickly then almost instantly ( like within 24 to 48 hours) I will have regained all the pounds lost. I'm guessing this is fluid retention but nothing is really working for me to keep this from happening. I have cut my sodium intake and have increased, decreased then increased again my Water intake and none of it is helping. My weight loss is very, very slow and it seems like the only way I lose weight is if I eat nothing. I can pretty much eat whatever I want and I don't get sick but I don't pig out just because I can eat normally either. My nutritionist says I just need to increase my metabolism by eating more frequently because I pretty much used to starve myself to lose weight and that my body may just be used to not having a high intake of food and holding on to the little bit it gets. I guess I'm just venting and thinking am I not doing this right or is it that I am one of the unlucky few that it just doesn't work for. I'm hoping that in the next few weeks things pick up.

So I am 3 months out and doing ok. My weight loss has been pretty good. My highest weight was 307 lbs and my surgery weight was 297 lbs I am now 233 lbs and very happy with my progress thus far. Does any one have any suggestions on how I can thicken my hair. I had my hair twisted up for the past couple months and just recently took them out and I have noticed some thinning in the front of my hair. My nutritionist said that it will get better after a year but I cannot wait a year for my hair to thicken up. I have started Biotin just wondering if there is anything else I can do. I have naturally curly hair.
