I was sleeved 11/30/16 and I have lost almost 100lbs. I've noticed that sleeping lately has been more uncomfortable then when I was heavier! The newest nuisance is now I will wake up out of a dead sleep with pins and needles pickling feeling on the tops of my thighs. Am I sleeping wrong, do I have a vitamin deficiency etc. Anyone else experience this? Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

Did anyone else experience lower back AFTER losing a lot of weight? I have lost over 80 lbs and I did not have back issues when I was heavier. Now it's excruciating while in bed and when I wake up. It's sore all day and when I walk or stretch it will spasm randomly. If I take a step off the curb or step funny it will feel like something pinched and like my leg is going to give out.

yes, I did. Probably about 3 months out for a few weeks. I have also started going to the gym 3 times a week trying to tone. My stomach seems to be the last thing to go and i am struggling to lose it there. Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello everyone. I had my surgery 11/30, I've lost 77 lbs so far. I feel great but my hair will not stop falling out!! I've had to chop most of it off to stop clogging my shower! I know this is common with weight loss but I need to know if this will stop on it's own or do I need to take supplements and if so, what? Please help!

sounds like you're dehydrated. That happened to me for a couple weeks. Take a glass of water to bed so you can sip it throughout the night and give yourself some time to get up and around, don't rush. it will eventually go away.

I would like to know as well. I was sleeved 11/30 and still can only take 2 - 3 bites and I'm full

thank you everyone! I am eating very small amounts, literally just a few bites per meal I still can't take it a lot, which I am NOT complaining at all! it was definitely a struggle at first but once you break that habit in your mind it becomes a lot easier. I find that I give most of my food to my husband or kids, lol.

I wanted to share my progress. I was sleeved 11/30 and I've lost about 60lbs so far. I was told that the weight loss does start to slow down about now and not that I'm unhappy with my progress but I still want to lose about 40 more. What are your tips and suggestions to keep losing and avoid a plateau? Also, I have an upcoming company party next month and we usually have a few glasses of wine. How long did you guys wait before having a drink?

I am almost 5'5. And thank you everyone. YES, it feels amazing just to be able to bend to pick something up off the floor and cross my legs while sitting. I can't even begin to explain. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

I just wanted to share my progress. Down 45 lbs since my surgery on 11/30. I can't even begin to explain how good it feels! Not the way I look because I know i still have a long way to go but the small things like sitting, bending, fitting into pants I haven't worn in a few years. I don't really have anyone else in my personal life to share this with as they wouldn't understand. How is everyone else doing? Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

I am just wondering what everyone else was eating at 5 weeks post op. Any suggestions, tips, warnings etc? Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App
