So I was banded October 17th and I have lost 60lbs. since, this includes the 20 something lbs I lost during my pre diet. Since my surgery my hip and knees have been killing me much more then they ever did when I was heavier. It doesn't seem like it getting better and almost gets worst daily. I'm only 35 and I'm walking like I'm 20 years older, any thoughts of why this is happening.

Are you doing major exercise? If so, are you stretching before and cooling down after? I notice when in weight loss mode, I go full throttle with exercise and barely walk for days at a time. I over do it after years of not exercising.

What about vitamins too? Maybe you are lacking vitamins you used to consume?

I would suggest you go talk to your doctor about it. If it is bad enough to impact your everyday life and doesn't improve with rest, it's serious enough to go to the doctor. You may even want to see a rheumatologist if your primary doc thinks it's appropriate. I hope you find an answer soon, I know how debilitating hip pain can be.
