Weakness and Pain in Shoulders and Legs! REGRET!!
Hi All,
It just happened a few days ago, that i was on my 30min Brisk walk and after 4th lap on Track , my shoulders started feeling pain and being stiff, is it weakness, then also pain in my right lower leg, it wasnt pain but like muscle spasm sort of feeling, i have been eating well now for last week, fish, chicken, egg, milk in a day with yougurt, but i stopped taking Protein Shakes, since i thought i am eating well over 60g proteins a day normally. Please Help me understand what my body is going through now, some times i feel like regreting getting VSG. PLEASE HELP
When was the last time you had labs done? That will probably be the quickest way to figure out what is going on.
Couple of things I noticed:
*You say you "think" you are getting enough protein. Are you logging food? Do you know for sure? Do you weigh your food?
*You say you've been eating well. Have you been getting in at least 64 oz of water/fluids?
*How far out are you? A brisk walk is something you should work up to.
You need to call your Doc or surgeon and get labs done, imo.

First of all, your feelings are totally normal. At 3 weeks out I was miserable and feeling VSG was a terrible mistake. I see so many other people post the same thing. Now at 5 months out, I know it was the best decision I've ever made.
Pain could signal a bunch of different things. I agree with everyone who said let your doctor know what you are experiencing and see what he/she recommends. Also, tracking your food and fluids is critical. It's not enough to think we're doing the right thing because quite often we are wrong.
I know my lower back hurt for weeks when I walked or stood for a long time. My posture was changing with the weight loss and my back muscles were sore - but things have now adjusted and the pain has gone away.
Hang in there!!!!
