I'm trying to find out if anyone else out there has been having the same problem as me. I was sleeved October 25, 2013 and to date have lost 85 pounds. Although I am extremely happy with the weight loss, I started to have chronic muscle/bone pain that started around December. I did moderate exercise from day 1, but have had to stop this past month due to the pain I'm having. I talked to my surgeon, and he said he never had anyone complain about this past the obvious post-op healing time. All my labs are optimal. My nutritionist says I'm doing everything right. I'm also an intensive care unit nurse with 28 years experience, so I have a decent knowledge of the body. I think it may stem from losing the weight so fast, and it's just a side effect from muscle wasting. Anyone out there ever experience this or have any suggestions about what's going on? Thanks in advance!

Sounds like ketosis/ muscle burn to me. I have been having the Same issue and am only 5 days post op- muscles are killing me! I'm a nurse too so I understand the need/ want to know what's going on. But from what I'm experiencing, we all have different experiences in the weight loss- for example, I have a harder time recuperating than most did.

Wow! you lost that weight fast!!!...more protein would be my suggestion..I know if I don't get enough in then I start to ache, especially in my hips...Congrats on the weight loss!
