  1. RJC Thank you for the reply. I am desperate. I will mention this to my Dr. I am afraid I am going to end up losing my job one day.
  2. Hello, sorry this is going to be long. I hope someone will have advice. I had Rny in July of 2014. Since surgery I have been extremely exhausted. I have had my blood work done. Many times. My hands and feet go numb. I have a vibration in my left foot that feels like I am stepping on a cell phone on vibrate. Sometimes I get dizzy even when sitting. And my feet will sometimes just not work. It's all mostly in my left foot. Sometimes I have a hard time lifting it and it feels like it's not there. I also get body tremors. Mostly my hands. Sometimes my whole body. They have tested my bloodwork, did a CT scan looking for ms or brain cancer. They have done an emg. I have seen a neurologist whom looks at me like I'm insane. I am about 10 pounds under my goal weight. And I either keep losing or stay where I am at. My bariatric program has high turnover for all their staff from Dr's to secretaries so I have been doing all my follow up with my primary Dr. I take a multi Vitamin, Calcium with Vitamin D, Biotin, fish oil, b12, and Iron ( iron every other day so I don't get constipated) potassium and magnesium. I was doing them all twice a day but my neurologist took me off of them all to see if I was having a reaction. I added them back in once a day myself because i started getting horrible migranes. I juse added b complex and a vitimin d pill to see of that would help. So far it helped with body tremors but my hands still shake and I still have all other symptoms. I'm tired of seeing Dr's. I just want to feel half way normal. Any advice would be appreciated. Sorry it's so long.

  9. I have noticed that too! I just thought I was getting sick or an ear infection and then it would go away! Never even thought it was weight loss related...thanks!
  10. I sip on my Protein shakes and on my Water all day long. I work in a call center so I'm sipping on either through out the day. Usually in the 8.5 hours at work I take in 32oz of water and 24 oz Protein shake. I don't wait 30 mins before or after with shakes.
  11. Thanks mrsaizsha! Mostly it is all diet. I drink a Protein shake for Breakfast and one for lunch and eat whatever my family eats for dinner. I eat whatever I want just a small amount. I do try to walk at least 2 miles a day but wisconsin weather has not been so nice to me. I am trying to get into some sort of exercise routine. But so far I haven't figured it all out yet.
  12. here is my before/after so far! I feel like a new person!

  19. I do not track anything. I am never hungry during the day so I drink 2 protein shakes at work and eat whatever my family has at dinner. Then I usually have some string cheese or cottage cheese or some kind of lite snack later in the day
  20. My surgery went well I was set to go home after 2 nights and then I had a bad reaction to the morphine and had to stay 2 more nights.
  21. Great job! How are you drinking so much? I am fighting to get enough fluids in and I sip all day long!
  22. I am getting over 70 grams most days. My Dr said to get 85-90. So that is what I have been trying for.
