Has anyone else experienced low back and hip pain since losing weight? Its not excruciating but its enough to aggravate you.

Yes! I have been meaning to ask that same question! I actually had the same pains when I was gaining weight and finally got rid of it through physical therapy. But, now it is back. It's back spasms really, though it just feels like an ache. Stretching definitely helps and it works itself out throughout the day. It's in the mornings when I wake up that it is worse. And I think it is just one hip for me, the left side.
When I had this before, the physical therapists said that I was carrying myself differently and my body seemed to think that one leg was longer than the other which is where the pain then came in. Doing the stretches and exercises they gave me fixed the problem then. I have been trying to do the stretches in the mornings and they are helping but I'm not yet doing all the exercises they had me do. I think one part might also be that I'm working out at the gym (was back then, too) but not working my core.
I'm so glad it is not just me! lol. That's why I love this list.

I'm about 3 months post op gastric bypass, I'm experiencing Hair loss right now like crazy! Let me tell ya there is nothing you can really do to prevent hair loss. Eat your Protein take your Vitamins and i do suggest getting a good Shampoo for hair loss. Silver lining is you will be healthy. Hair grows back. You will expire nice dumping, you can dump on stupid things. I used to love milk but i dumped. Cauliflower makes me sick, you just have to get used to trying small bites and testing the Water before you eat. Sagging skin is common, some people have it more than others. Focus on getting healthy and start to tone. Tummy Tuck ad 360 lift can be considered later on. At least at Cleveland clinic i know at 1 year group they bring in plastic surgeons to talk and do consults. You got this don't worry about that stuff yet

Hi ranece. From what I understand, Protein protein protein is the way to combat Hair loss. Sagging skin is inevitable but get some pure bovine collagen powder and it may help some. Dumping is avoided by avoiding sugar and by eating teeny tiny bites, not over eating or drinking and by avoiding sugar. Real whole fruit can also cause dumping if you have too much. I'm also having my surgery on the 30th but I have friends who have had the surgery and they are giving me lots of great advice!
