I hear ya !

If it matters at all,,,,,, the surgery is a lot better then it was years ago, when they opened you up like a fish !

I don't know what else to tell you.. I was laid up for a couple of weeks, and now they are back to work in a week.

So yes ! I know it's a bummer... But if it has to come out, "and I'm sure it does." Today's Medicine has really improved.

Good Health to you.

Shirley.

Great Job on the weight Loss..

You'll be in more pain if you don't have the surgery. Gallstones are caused by yo-yo dieting and if you don't have your gallbladder out, the attacks will get more painful. Its very similar to lap-band surgery, except they deflate the gallstone and remove it, rather than inserting the lapband

      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.
