I am currently 14 months out and have lost a total of 125 lbs and still losing. About a week now my body has been hurting so badly especially my legs. Today I can hardly get out of bed. I also have issues with my hemoglobin and had one blood transfusion already. Does anyone experience this and if so why is it happening to me?

Omg... yes! I have not posted in ages but I saw this and wanted to let you know that the same thing has been going on with me. I have been suffering from body pain as well. It is hard for me to do most things on a daily basis. I feel extremely weak as well. I have not required a blood transfusion but I did come up low on bloodwork so I am anemic and have low Iron and hemoglobin. I only started having these issues after gastric bypass. I originally had gastric sleeve in 2012 and did not feel this way. I had to have a revision last year in 2016 due to severe gerd and I have regreted it ever since.

I had gastric bypass 6-16 and was sick in the beginning to be expected however as I began to lose weight I had tons of energy. I would wake early in the day and walk like crazy drinking tons of Water. One day out of the blue I couldn't get out of bed and have been sick ever since. I had a transfusion Bc I had a bleeding ulcer. Now this past week I can hardly move. I keep trying to get help but the Drs I see keep pushing me back to my surgeons office which I no longer care for. Also I am still unable to eat and can't ever go out Bc I get so weak and tired. My surgery was also Bc of severe gerd.

I also ended up with an ulcer and I have the hardest time eating red meat and chicken...iy seems I can only do fish and even veggies get stuck (cauliflower and broccoli) if they are not cooked to a mistake. My surgery was 6/22 last year and I have been miserable since. I don't know if I would have just rather kept the GERD but it was really bad too. At least I was able to eat better and had way more energy. Now I'm just sick and weak all the time and in pain and most things cause me abdominal pain. I feel like a 78 year old.😔

      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? 🤷‍♀️
