Hi! June 29th it'll be a year since I had the sleeve...Well for the past few days I've been having really bad stomach pains..it feels like a hard knot in the top of my stomach and I'm really nauseated...Any ideas on what this may be..

Thanks everyone! I am only taking Vitamin D..I was never told that I needed any other supplements such as Calcium and B-12....Hmmm! I had tons of lab work done and I was only lacking vitamin D..Everything else checked out normal.

Thanks everyone! Something just isn't right with my body!! Daily severe headaches & body aches..When bloodwork is done it just shows that I have the Vitamin D deficiency..I'm also very cold all the time but I'm not anemic..ugh so frustrating!!!

Okay, I need some help! So I have a Vitamin D deficiency and I have to take supplements once a week...I have severe head-aches & body aches...Do you think that this deficiency is causing this or something else? I will be one year out on June of this year.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement!! :-) I really needed to hear this. I will get back on track and start my lifestyle change again.

Thanks for your advice! I really appreciate it and I will go back to square one and start over...I figured since I can only eat small amounts it would be okay for me to eat sweets but it just slows down my weight loss and makes me tired. Thanks again! :-)

I know someone who lost 185 lbs in 8 months. I'm like danggg I'm so far behind!

Okay so my surgery was on June 29, 2011 I do feel the restriction but I am NOT following a diet. I crave sweets & I'll eat them and that's it. I feel fatigue most of my days and I have really bad body aches and headaches. I need to get back on track and need guidance because I'm not happy with a 90 lb weight loss.

Thanks so much!! I'm under TONS of stress and I crave sweets & I eat them. I do not drink enough and I know I'm not eating right, however, I do exercise 3 times a week but I know I could do more. I will change my eating habits because I do feel myself going back to my before surgery habits and that's not good at all. I need to start a diet or something. I'm just not happy with my results thus far.

10 months ago I had surgery and I've only lost 90 lbs. My friend had it done & we both weighed the same amount and she's already lost 135lbs. What am I doing wrong?? Please help because I am becoming discouraged! I need to start a diet maybe??

I was just wondering..Is there a second part of the surgery we can do once we have the sleeve??

Does anybody experience body aches & pains since being sleeved??

Sounds good to me..I will try that out! Thx! (:

Okay I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia...I went in & they did blood work & my sugar was 46...I am dehydrated & was told to just increase my fluids & see my dr ASAP, also I have a Vitamin D deficiency and the dr gave me meds to take once a week for that! Ugh!

Thanks everyone for the great advice & feedback!! I'm actually on my way to the ER now to get checked out. I'll keep you all posted!! (:

Hey guys I need some help! I'm 8 months out & I'm dehydrated, I try to drink fluids but I know it's not enough, Ketones are present in my urine & I'm trying to decide if I should go to the ER or what?? I have bad headaches & feel tired all the time, just lay down most of the time! Helpppp!!!

Ugh! This is so gross!! But thanks for the replies I'm going to try to incorporate more Water and exercise...The gas smell is the WORST I've ever smelled!!

I feel the same way! It's really weird, some days I almost forget to eat & other days I feel like I'm starving...Some days I eat two bites and I'm super stuffed other days I can eat 6 to 8 bites...I don't know what's wrong either lol I'm 8 months out...

Ohhhh that makes sense..Well I'll be sure to increase my Water intake, I don't drink enough Water at all. It makes me to stuffy!! :-(

I was sleeved June 29, 2011 and have had many complications but now I'm having Vitamin deficiencies like Vitamins ADEK & I also have ketones in my urine..My dr said I'm very malnourished..I can only eat so much..What is going on???

I'm almost 4 months out and still experience it..

Someone please tell me if this is normal...ok so surgery was on June 29, 2011 & I have severe body aches, cramps, & PAIN!!!! I always feel cold & I constantly have to use a heating pad!!! Someone helpppppp!!!! I've been taking Tylenol but it's not helping!!!

Yes with everything!! I'm taking Nexium & Prilosec..I thought it was acid too..I'll go to the dr..it's very miserable!!

Ok so my surgery was June 29th & for the past week I've been unable to eat..I try to eat and soon as I take a bite I get really nauseated and choke up. My stomach makes gurgling noises & I just feel really sick..It's anything that I eat not just certain foods..I'm not getting in all of my nutrients!! Helppppppp someone!!!!
