Abnormal weight loss?
I've been walking back to work again as part of my recovery regimen.

I'm back down to 212 from 223 pounds, but have noticed an increasing weakness in my arms - which seem to look skinnier than ever. My belly is just as bloated too. Yuck. That with constant fatigue and sweating hard when I take like 5 steps... I think something's wrong. I know my diet is fine but what else could be happening? I know of my B12 issue but I am taking supplements (which if I forget to take even 2 days I'll really feel like crap...)

Thx!

2. See A Doctor
Could be anything. You've given few details, but from what you have, it could be diabetes.

3. I finished eating 5 minutes ago and then checked my blood sugar:
118.

I know I have occasional problems with low blood sugar though...

4. Doctor time. Immediately.
I don't know what your known health problems are, but in women, arm weakness, that sweating and fatigue, are signs of heart problems. So, off to the doc with you.
