It is lack of Protein

So I have been fat for a while now and have the FUPA issue. For those of you who doesn't know what a FUPA is I will explain but I will not give you the actual meaning of the letters in the word because this is not that kind of site. A FUPA is the belly part that hangs down past your goodies down below. The part that sits in your lap when you sit down. I just got one about a year or two ago due to becoming so overweight. Well I have never had trouble with this before but about 2 weeks ago I started having pain in my muscles that are in the crease of my legs up under there above my thigh. If I sit for too long or just from the car ride from work to home. It takes me a few minutes to be able to stand up straight and walk normally without having muscle pain. I unfortuantely have not been doing any strenous exercising so it is not liked I pulled both muscles on both legs doing something. I just wonder if this is from protien deficiency or lack of circulation or something? Did anyone else ever have this problem? I wouldn't have worried about it except that it started after I lost 20 pounds and not before ever. I am only 26 and feel like 76 when I stand up after sitting at my desk at work. Any suggestions?

You could try potassium as well. That thing is also called a Pannus, or apron btw... :)

Anyhow, it could be Protein. I've also heard people talk about back pain similar as well. They say that sometimes your fat can 'cushion' things, and then when it starts to go away, you start to notice some of these things.

Anyhow, I would say talk to your doc and see what they say?

I have been having weird muscle pain too- I'm sure some potassium wouldn't hurt...

I've also been told that when you lose weight everything gets redistributed...and your muscles have to adjust. I never used to get back pain from my stomach but now that I've lost my butt, my back has to do more work to keep me from tipping over :-).

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
