Post op hip pain



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.

I had the sleeve performed on the 27th of April,2017. I have not had much pain except my back before surgery,due to being born with too many vertebraes. I had a laminectomy/ decompression surgery on June 1,2015.but not too much relief of the peripheral neuropathy in my legs and feet.

Everybody was saying,once you lose some weight,the pain may let up. I was only 211 at surgery time. I had the surgery to avoid becoming diabetic,to lessen my sleep apnea,and decrease my bad cholesterol numbers,

I have to be honest,i haven't been taking those horse pills of Calcium as I should,,nor the Protein Drinks. Cause I can't stand the taste of the Protein Shakes.

1 week ago to this post,i developed SEVERE pain in both of my hips; pain so bad that I missed work for 5 days ,aug 31,sept 1,the weekend of the 2 and 3rd.and the labor day holiday.

Now I am suppose to head back to work on the 5th, and my hips are hurting so bad ,i can not sleep.

I know this is very detailed,but, I would like to know if anyone else is experiencing this traumatizing hip pain.

Is it because I have not been taking the calcium and Protein supplements?

Have I caused this to myself?

Is it too late to correct this?

I just can't tell my doctor that I haven't been taking these supplements,

I would love to hear your thoughts.I will gladly answer anything you ask.

Thank you

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
