    Your welcome! Sorry kerri-ann I didn't see your post, otherwise I would have givin the info sooner. If you Google restless leg syndrome or restless ARM syndrome it gives many reasons for it but a few of the reasons were various Vitamin deficiencies. If I remember right, Calcium and magnesium and Iron were a few of them. I just made sure to take my 2 Multivitamins, 3 calciums, Iron, and b-12 and have been fine ever since. I caught it right away though so if it has been going on for awhile it might take a week or two to build them up again. Good luck!

    I had a prob with restless legs and arms. Turns out it was Vitamin deficiency. I hadn't been taking all of my Vitamins because they were bothering my stomach. Since I found that out I have not missed a single Vitamin. It was not fun, it hurt and I had a hard time sleeping. Haven't had a problem since I started being faithful on the Vitamins.< /p>

    I have been out to see the dietician at thevsurgeon's office and she has looked over my diaries, and said it was all perfect. I exercise tons. I have lost 77 lbs since May. I'm not dropping at warp speed anymore, but the dietician said I will loose, but at a slower rate now, because this fat has been with me for many years. It's just discouraging when you yo-yo for a month.

    A month and a half would be frustrating! Just keep doing what u r doing, it will come off eventually:) sometimes it works to change up your diet for a couple of days, maybe add a few extra calories and change the makeup of the calories (more good fat or + or - protein). Another thing that helped me during my last stall was to work out harder than I thought possible for longer than I thought possible one day (i had a physical fitness assessment for work so I had to do well). I hurt all over the next day, but I lost 4 pounds and broke my stall! Another thing, are your bm's regular? Gross, I know, but I have not lost anything this last 1.5 weeks becuz I haven't had a bm. Miralax works pretty well, but it takes a few days. Just trying to think of anything that could help.

    Head hunger is a hard one. You have to find the best way for you. I just remind myself how I got here. I know I don't want to go back to tthe way I was, so I try to find something else to do or eat. It is hard when you are in liquids. But it does get easier. I don't think fruit is ok yet, but check with your Dr. Take a walk or exercise when the head hunger hits. Your nutritionist would be an excellent resource or search this forum. There are tons of ideas here. Good luck!

    There will be many stalls, try not to get too frustrated. It doesn't mean this isn't the answer.... The stall will break. I was in a stall for almost 3 weeks in the beginning but then it broke and I started losing a pound a day. Sometimes it helps to change up your diet and exercise for a few days. Eat a few more calories and exercise with more intensity. One of my stalls broke when I did a physical fitness assessment for work (had to push myself really hard). The next day I lost 4 pounds. Your body is still healing and might be in starvation mode. Just be patient and try to stay away from the scales for awhile. Good luck!

    I don't even think I can eat 4 oz. Yet and I am almost 3 months out!slow down girl...lol. definitely take it slow. Only eat what makes u feel satisfied and eat slow so your body can have time to process it. Don't force the meals and listen to your body. Like DL said, call your doc if u r still in pain. He/she can rule anything bad out. Good luck.

    Checking

    I bring the rare position (according to my doc) that there are not a lot of 60-year-old guys opting for this surgery. Over the next three weeks i will have stomach scoping' date=' cardio and pulmonary exams as well as the psyche evaluation. Current weight is 402. Doc says I should plan on getting down to 200. I am soooo excited[/quote']

    Congrats, I wish u the best of luck
