Legs hurt so much!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 10/27 and for the past few days my legs hurt so much! They are just aching and feel awful. It's mostly my calves, back of my thighs and tops of my legs.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Dehydration? Are you drinking enough liquids?

Vitamin deficiency such as magnesium or potassium? Don't just take potassium supplements, especially larger dosages, if you have any kidney issues.

The best advice is to call your PCP's office on Monday. It is probably nothing to be concerned about. They have medical training, I do not.

Good luck.

I noticed since losing all this weight that it hurts where my leg bones go into my pelvic bowl/hip bones. Overall, I have less aches and pains and they are less severe from the weight-loss but when I get a lot of aching in my muscles, like my calves or my toes or something like that I find that if I take a magnesium supplement even just a couple times it clears itself up. Not the joint aching but The muscular aching. I take natural calm. It's a magnesium supplement. Non-GMO.

I have restless leg, it sometimes aches something fierce. When my calves start to hurt (maybe 1x every 4-6 weeks) I usually drink a 32oz Gatorade. It helps me....and since I can't drink the G2, the sugar in the regular one encourages a "pooping day"

Win-win!

I hydrated like crazy today and they still ache so much. I'm going to call my pcp tomorrow and see if I can get in this week.

Thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
