Yep, me too. It's apparently quite common after rapid weight loss to get numerous small gallstones. Had my gallbladder removed at 4 months post-op. really messing with my progress :( Good luck! Hope we get back on track soon.

I had a perfect gallbladder pre-op and my surgery was in May and by July I was having emergency surgery to remove it. Saying Adios to that lil guy allowed diarrhea to say aloha all the damn time. :-| seriously you should hear my stomach at this moment sounds like a Water cooler and all I'm drinking is water w/ electrolyte mio in it. o.O

Slowing down my exercise regime, not been to the gym for 2 weeks and no abdominal exercise for at least 1 month post-op. Also gained a lot of weight ? Fluid while in hospital. Had no appetite for 2 weeks, did not take in enough Protein, that always causes my weight loss to stall or slow down.

Saying all of that, I feel so much better now. Appetite returned and will try to go to gym next next. Now to get over my stall...

Good luck with your recovery, we'll get there in the end!

about 5 years ago I lost 80 lbs really fast on some medication my dr gave me.....and sure enough I had to have my gallbladder out within a month of losing it!

So I am HAPPY i had that experience then, and not after my RNY.

Hope you are doing well and recovering!

      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.
