6 months out and gallbladder surgery tomorrow



Recommended Posts

I wish I didn't have to do this. I was hoping WLS was turning my life around. My husband and I aren't getting along which makes it so much worse. Considering taking a cab to the hospital.

I heard some unfortunate stories about this surgery and sometimes I feel like giving up.

Hey. I had my gallbladder out I think about 4 months post op. no problems or complications after having it out. And no pain once it was gone!

I'm sorry things aren't going well with your husband but I think you will do fine with getting your gallbladder out. Good luck

Just had my gallbladder surgery today. Was suppose to stay in hospital overnight but was able to come home after 6 hours. I'm in a lot of pain. Very hard to stand up and walk. Can only sleep on my left side. Dr said my gallbladder was inflamed. So glad it is out . Good luck to everybody who has to goes through this.

      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.
