The last few weeks I haven't really been able to eat hardly anything. It makes me sick in the sense that I feel completely full all the time. I can't even drink that much liquid cause I have a constant full feeling. Not sure what is going on. Just know that the last few days I haven't been able to get even close to the right amount of protein and fluids. I seem my surgeon tomorrow for a follow up appointment and will discuss it with them. I just know that the worse I feel with my stomach the worse I am feeling with my body. I am taking my vitamins like I should but I am so darn tired and in constant pain with my joints and body. Not sure what I can take to help it so I end up suffering.

i'm not sure about the full feeling all the time. Good to talk to doc.

But as for the joints, i remember major aches and pains. I remember thinking, how is it that skinny people hurt so bad and never complain! but then someone told me that as we lose so quickly our body is trying to readjust our joints and that it does hurt.

I can say now that 2yrs out the only pain i have all the time is in my tailbone.

good luck to you - let us know how it goes.

well I was dehydrated and sent over the hospital for a few liters of fluids, they are worried I might be developing an ulcer and gave me medications for it. I was given permission to use Tylenol Arthritis for the pain since it is my arthritis acting up on me. I am really dissapointed because I have not lost any weight since I was at the doctors 4 weeks ago. Guess I am at a stall or plateau. I hope to break through that quickly. I also hope to start feeling better so that I can eat and drink better. I am keeping my food journal more detailed starting today because they want to see me and journals in two weeks to see if there is something that can be pinpointed to help me.

I'm glad to hear your doc is helping you figure it all out. I would guess (and its only a guess) that you've not lost because of not being able to eat or drink...

Keep us in the loop as much as you are able and I hope you feel much better soon!

Glad to hear your a little better. Platues can be so frustrating, I have had to start measuring again and not just eyeballing my portions, this has actually helped. Hope you continue to feel better.
