When did you last have your abs done? Sounds like you're deficient in something, maybe potassium...? If it gets unbearable, you should def go to the ER.

I had my last lab done at the end of July and i was low in Vitamin D (very low) about 11 and is suppose to be around 85

the test did't showblow pottasium, but now that you mentioned my pottasium was low the day after my surgery and they gave me a shot..

The pain is bad, like when you did a lot of exercise..

You can try eating banana (half a banana a day) and that will give you a good dose of potassium. Otherwise it sounds like it might be time to talk with the dr. I hope you feel better.

I was feeling bad and they put me on mega doses of Vitamin D....like 50,000 units a week! My number was a 6!! Did they give you additional supplements? If it doesn't get better, I would call your doctor. Because we are not eating a lot we are missing vital nutrients so we have get them in. Btw...I hate taking Vitamins...I'm thinking about getting one of those pill boxes that my grandmother used to have just so I can keep up with all of them!! Hope you are feeling better soon!

Karnie - The pill box (w/ 7 days) makes taking the Vitamins much easier. You don't have to open up each bottle every time you want to take a dose. Plus I can look at the pill box and see if I took mine that day or not. I had my 3 month post surgery labs and everything was good except I need more Vit D, but I was just low, not rock bottom like you.

Yeah, I am definitely going to invest in one! And hopefully my levels will go up! And congrats on your weight loss so far! I can't wait to be in the 2's!!

      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! 😞
