So I had an abdominal ultra sound today and they found a gallstone. Will this slow my whole process of getting WLS ?

Probably not- they will probably take out your gall bladder during your sleeve surgery. That's what they did with me. Believe me, I am so glad they did. Saved me from having to go through a second surgery later.

No it won't slow your weight loss. Is it painful? if so, they will take it out.....If not, it's not a problem. But weight will continue to come off with a healthy diet. :)

most people have gall stones, i can't forsee it being an issue unless it begins to give you pain. I was going to just have mine out with my surgery ( i was having very painful attacks), but they got to bad and i had my gallbladder removed a few months before my sleeve.

What few people realize is that when we are born, we begin to decline in health. Depending on how well we nourish our bodies, and how well we were nourished in-vetro will determine how fast we decline. Symtoms begin to display themselves such as gallstones, and many more other fallings. These are all indications that we are in need of solutions to improve our health. Having gallstones shows the doctor that your body is showing signs of breaking down and you need treatment, new diet, and a healthier lifestyle. You won't be rejected.

      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.
