Muscle and/or Bone Pain



Recommended Posts

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!

Morning Glory

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.

      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! 😞
