Hello!

110 days post op here and down 70 pounds! As always, thrilled with my results but here is my latest puzzlement.

I have had horrible hip, knee and back pain SINCE surgery. I walk, do minor weights - nothing over doing it that's for sure, but I get out of bed feeling like a grandma (no offense to any) but I'm 33!!! I just lost 70 pounds - shouldn't I be leaping pain free like a limber baby deer??

Sometimes, I feel like my body has a difficult time compensating for the QUICK loss and feels a little discombobulated. Anyone having similar issues?

Barring any injuries to your joints, (which being obese could easily do) my guess would be that at your heavier weight, you moved around a whole lot less. Your body is just taking some time to get used to things moving and stretching again. Give it time.

What I've read is that when you're heavier you moved and walked differently. Different areas of pressure on your joints. After weight loss your gait is different, you're changing the ways your joints move. So in a way, yes, you're discombobulated. Lol. You'll find your new normal and work everything out and the pain should go away.

Yes, makes a lot of sense! I can even cross my legs now, which might explain the hip issues!

I notice I hurt more now too. Even just laying in bed, I can feel my rib cage (yes that's a good thing lol) but now laying on the bones they tend to hurt now. I think just before they had extra cushion. ;)

Yes, definitely. My butt aches from sitting on a hard chair now??!!!! I hope this subsides because it's bringing me down, I don't want to be in pain - I was for years!

Have you had your Vitamin D levels checked? Low levels can cause body pain.

Funny you should mention that because I JUST had blood work done and my Vitamin D is very low :-(

Looks like sun tanning is in order for me!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
