Hello!

110 days post op here and down 70 pounds! As always, thrilled with my results but here is my latest puzzlement.

I have had horrible hip, knee and back pain SINCE surgery. I walk, do minor weights - nothing over doing it that's for sure, but I get out of bed feeling like a grandma (no offense to any) but I'm 33!!! I just lost 70 pounds - shouldn't I be leaping pain free like a limber baby deer??

Sometimes, I feel like my body has a difficult time compensating for the QUICK loss and feels a little discombobulated. Anyone having similar issues?

Barring any injuries to your joints, (which being obese could easily do) my guess would be that at your heavier weight, you moved around a whole lot less. Your body is just taking some time to get used to things moving and stretching again. Give it time.

What I've read is that when you're heavier you moved and walked differently. Different areas of pressure on your joints. After weight loss your gait is different, you're changing the ways your joints move. So in a way, yes, you're discombobulated. Lol. You'll find your new normal and work everything out and the pain should go away.

Yes, makes a lot of sense! I can even cross my legs now, which might explain the hip issues!

I notice I hurt more now too. Even just laying in bed, I can feel my rib cage (yes that's a good thing lol) but now laying on the bones they tend to hurt now. I think just before they had extra cushion. ;)

Yes, definitely. My butt aches from sitting on a hard chair now??!!!! I hope this subsides because it's bringing me down, I don't want to be in pain - I was for years!

Have you had your Vitamin D levels checked? Low levels can cause body pain.

Funny you should mention that because I JUST had blood work done and my Vitamin D is very low :-(

Looks like sun tanning is in order for me!!

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
