Sleeve and Hip Surgery

[blackbutterfly13 3]

I got my sleeve 12/17 I have been having really bad hip problems My Ortho surgeon said I needed to lose weight and that may prevent the hip surgery. the first 2 days after surgery my hip was fine. Now the pain is back I have lost a total of 30 pounds since this journey. Starting to feel depressed which leads to eating. The Holidays were crazy for me all I saw was food and alcohol I tasted some mac and cheese, and mashed potatoes chewing 30 times of course, But wonder if I have messed up anything. anyone know if the hip pain will get better by losing more weight and if the eating has messed anything up.

Thanks

I doubt you messed anything up. You would have to overeat A LOT in order to do anything. Just keep doing what your surgeon told you to do, and try to distance yourself from junk food. The more weight you lose, the better your hip will feel. After I lost 20 pounds, my sciatic nerve still hurt. Now that I'm down 61 pounds down, my sciatic nerve no longer hurts anymore.

You're very welcome! It seems hard because you expect to feel a little better after losing a certain amount. But the body doesn't always act the way we expect it to. Also, have you ever wondered if maybe it's your mattress causing your hip to get out of a healthy adjustment? My hip hurt for a whole week because I was house-sitting for a friend, who has a horrible mattress.

I was actually looking for a mattress prior to the surgery but couldn't find one I liked.. When did you have your surgery

So you are making your own shakes? No wonder. Those aren't very good, in my opinion. They're kinda chalky. Have you tried the ones you buy in a pack of 4? Like Premier Protein. Those are pretty good.
