Do you have odd pains, now?



Recommended Posts

Just curious if anyone else experiences this!

Since surgery 4/20, I've dropped 23 pounds, 11 days. I'm not sure if it's Water weight gone that had exposed my legs or if it's from blood thinners in the hospital. ..or WHAT..

but. .. I am very touchy on my legs. Knees down...any pressure that hits my legs hurts!

I've also noticed laying in bed at night my hips will hurt depending on which side I lay on. I dunno!?

When I was on blood thinners, I bruised very easily. For the first few weeks, my body looked like it was in a war zone.

As I lost weight, the fat that provided a cushion to my legs started to disappear. So it made it uncomfortable to sleep. I found that placing a pillow between my legs at night helped when I slept on my side.

Also the fat the normally insulated my rear end made sitting for any amount of time to be uncomfortable. So I began to use gel cushions. They can be found in Bed Bath and Beyond. I bought some for my computer chair and for the seat of my car.

      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! 😞
