Body aches and a plateau
hey guys... So I got sleeved on Feb 19,2015. I'm about 4 months post op. I've been getting the WORST body aches at bedtime, it gives me insomnia. It's like all of my bones are ready to crack! I don't eat much, but I drink lots of fluids and I take multi vitamins, calcium, iron, and fiber. I try and get in mostly meats so that I get a good amount of protein, but it's probably not as much as I should be getting in. I do not drink protein shakes at all. Has anyone had this kind of ache? What can I do to soothe it? I lost about 35 pounds in my first two months after surgery, since May my weight has remained constant! Is this normal?
in eply to body aches and plateau..that would be me. I was sleeved 6 mos. ago and have not last weight. I saw my doc last week and asked him how many cal should I take in a day. his reply was do you exercise. because of my pains I haven't done much but he said it doesn't matter if you eat and don't move it will stall your weight. So even though I cant do what id like to Im doing more. I see you don't do shags. I goto the vitamin store or GNC and buy the Quest protein bars. 20-25 gr. protein low cal. low carb low sugar. I use them not everyday but when I don't have a shake and need a meal replacement. they have a large varity. Doc. was pleased with me I lost 60% of my body weight. I need to push myself so I can reach my goal.. I take pain meds for my spine. I have 23 rods and screws and fused in most of spine, so I understand whee your coming from....
