Body stiffness and aches



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved Aug. 15, 2012 and for close to 3 months my whole body aches and my muscles get stiff. I didn't have this problem before surgery. I asked the nurse that I've been working with at the surgery center and she hasn't heard of this happening before. Anyone else have this problem?

I would run that by your surgeon and primary doctor. It could be your body adjusting to new metabolism and food intake' date=' but best to check it out thoroughly.[/quote']

Thanks.

Yeah, if anything I had *less* aches and pains after surgery. Having *more* just seems... off.

I've kind of had the same issue. I feel like I have the achy body from the flu. It's become progressively worse since surgery. Doctor is stumped...

Have you had your bloods done recently? Maybe some deficiency?

I just found some info on muscle and joint pain/soreness. These symptoms are from Protein deficiency. I've always wondered if I was getting enough Protein. Guess ill try increasing it. Hope this helps you.

Through some research I think I have symptoms of Protein deficiency. Thanks for the question.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
