Bone pain? Weird question!



Recommended Posts

M 5 weeks post op today. (Down 43 lbs) last night before bed I was watching tv in bed and I had really bad bone pain in my hip and femur in my left leg. Anyone have any possible suggestions? I was thinking maybe I'm low in potassium. Idk, anyone else have this?

Could it be that you slept on that side for the last 5 weeks?

When you were heavier you dispersed your weight differently. You walked with pressure on different areas than you do now. You will adapt a different gait when you walk as you lose weight, dispersing your weight differently. There are several threads about this that I've come across while researching.

I've definitely had a lot of aches and pains in my 3 months post op. Its getting better now tho..so I'm hoping the worst is behind me.

I had them mainly in legs and hips too.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
