You look amazing, Bec!

I had a gallbladder attack yesterday afternoon and it was a bad one. I'm still sore. Went to the GP today and ordered an ultrasound and some bloodwork. I wonder if the gallbladder is also causing my diarrhea. I am sort of hoping they will want to remove it even though I don't have time for a surgery right now!

In good news, I will probably get to my surgeon's goal by my 6-month mark on 14 Nov. Hard to believe I went on holiday and lost almost 3 kg! I'm 4 kg away now.

I have oodles of stones and sludge in my gallbladder according to my scan. Hopefully back to the GP tomorrow to see what the next step is.

Target seems to be discontinuing the $20 jeans I've been living in. I went today and bought size 14 (new current size) and 12 (next size) for $8 each! I guess I can spring for the $49 jeans when I hit 10.

I can't get to the last few pages of the thread in the new app yet but I think I can post. I have to have my gallbladder removed and my sleeve surgeon Reza Adib will be doing it. I meet with him Monday and I hope he can do it soon so I don't have another attack and I can heal before my next trip to India in December. I hope everyone else is doing well!

Yes - looks like we are back in business - I can now log on and move between pages on my ipad again!

Hey Misty - it might be time for an updated profile picture as you probably look quite different now?

Good luck with your gallbladder op - hope it solves your other issues.

Post this in the Assistance forum which is at the very bottom of the forum list and they will sort it out. I bet it is because you changed your name on here and maybe it got confused.

I am having nothing but trouble with this new site. Why do good things get sooo messed up, when they should be left alone??!! I can't quote, pm or subscribe at present, and have lost all my old subscriptions... I've complained/asked for help, but no response over a couple of days... I guess they are busy.

      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.
