Strange muscle pains

Today I am 7 months post op, down 122 lbs and for the most part, feeling better than I have since high school. I will post a picture taken yesterday of Shelby and I at the circus that shows my weight loss. Pretty amazing.

Mom mentioned today she thinks I am getting too thin, but how can that be if I am not even under 200 lbs yet!

Today I went to the lab to have blood drawn to test all my levels post op, test my thyroid levels and my cholesterol. Obviously the results aren't back yet so I dont know if the strange muscle pains I am feeling in my upper legs is from a deficiency or something else. But it started a few days ago at a dull roar and now has worked up into a pretty intense pain. So bad that I packed up Shelby to go to the Target to get out and walk to stretch, thinking that might help. I took a hot bath and asked DJ to rub my legs as hard as he could. Nothing seems to have helped. I haven't tried tylenol yet, will try that when I am done here.

I just hope that my muscles arent deteriorating or eating themselves or something. I still hear horror stories about WLS and even though my surgery has gone very well and my recovery even better, whose to say something cant go wrong this far down the road.

On another note, one of my classmates (in my Introduction to the child Care Profession class) also had WLS 3 years ago! She was over 400 lbs when she started and is now 260 pregnant with her first child. She intends to have cosmetic surgery to remove lose skin and fix other annoying areas, but because of the unplanned pregnancy, now has to wait. It is nice to meet someone so much further post op.
