I did do a search but didn't find anything specifically related so.........

Just about to hit 10 months and I'm having serious hip issues. Since the weight loss they've been bothering me, kind of feel like they are on the verge of dislocating but not sure as it's a new feeling. It's happened in both hips but no more than an aching pain. This past Friday when I was waking up I noticed the familiar feeling again in my left hip. When I got out of bed it was really painful to put weight on it. I had to walk on my toes on that leg and limp to keep weight off of it. When I sat it was fine but standing or walking on it was really hard. I was outside doing some work and sat on a low tool box and when I went to walk it felt better but didn't last long. Onto Saturday, the same thing but now it would come and almost go. I was standing in the kitchen making Breakfast and just slightly moving the leg It kind of felt like it fell out of the socket and there was intense pain. As I moved my leg around, certain positions would relieve the pain but slightly moving it in a different way would make the pain worse. Today it was much better but out of nowhere I would move my leg and the pain would kick in. I don't know what makes it happen or go away but it sucks. I'm going to call my PCP tomorrow and ask about it but wanted to reach out and see if anyone has experienced anything like this. Also today I noticed the same pain but nowhere near as intense in my right hip.

Thanks in advance for an insight!!!

I’m sure it isn’t surgery related. It could be arthritis or if you are saying it feels like it’s dislocating maybe you have loose tendons.

Let us know what your Doc says

I just went through this! Turns out I had trocanteric bursitis, which my doc said is because I no longer have butt fat to hold my joints in place!!! So he shot me up with steroids, I'm much better and now have to do exercise to strengthen his muscles and ligaments!

It's a real thing! Don;t let it go on - see an orthopedist!!

Thank you for your replies. I have a call into the Dr but have yet to hear back from her. Guess she's busy. I call back tomorrow if I don't hear back by then.

      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.
