Hi everyone.. I am a newbie to this site.. I have lost 140lbs so far and have about 40 more to go.. I have a general medical question... Its actually hard to explain but will try.. I would like to know if anyone else is or has experienced like a feeling of like slight shakiness is really the best way i can describe it? Maybe like had too much coffee but didnt. Also warm tingling sensation to their face? Just lately have I been feeling this.. I gave up eating bread, chips and sugary sweets about 2 weeks because I was gaining wait back. Its almost like the weird feeling I get before I have what I called "my sugar attacks" when I would have to much sugary stuff.. Hopefully I have describe it good enough that if someone else knows what I am talking about can let me know what it is caused from and if I can do something myself to change it or do I need to go to the dr. I dont want to go to the dr if I dont need to because I am currently at a new job and the insurance required me to go thru a 6 month pre-x waiting period, which I only have 2 more months. I will go if an emergency but if not would be so much better.. :)
 
Well hello and congratulations on your weight loss that's great, as to your question you have some vitamin deficiency going on, you need some blood work done to pin point all , but the tingling of your face is vitamin D, I myself take 4 D-3 1000, 2 multi complete vitamins with iron, 1 5000, Biotin and 1 banana a day for potassium so I don't know what you take everyone is different but this was what my nutritionist set up for me, I hope this helps, good luck
 
Hi Susie. Thank you so much! Looks like you are doing very well too! Keep up the great work. Everyday is a victory! I just started this week back taking vitamins. Pretty much what you are doing as well.. except for the banana which I will start.. It looks like we are pretty much in the same area as far as our profiles. So I will try what your nutritionist has put to you and see how that works until I can get to the doctors to get a check up. I really appreciate your help. Hope to see you on here again. I feel better seeing that people are going or been thru the same situations. Take care and keep up the great work! God Bless.
 
Here is a link from the WLS center that I went to back in IL where I use to live. It helped me tremendiously.. It has recipes that I used and still do.. I started back on Stage 1 to kick start my weight loss again when I became "distracted"! :) I hope this helps. If I find anything else I will post it for you.
