It is your gallbladder and it is going to only get worse. You really need to have it looked at soon.

Thanks SuperFab. As a nurse I tend to talk my way out of diagnoses and think, "That's not me! I'm not part of the majority!" Lol! I know that's nonsense in this case because my symptoms were straight out of a med/surg assessment book! I've not had any pain since late last night. I have an appt with my surgeon on the 17th, but I may see her at work before then.

Since it comes and goes it's easy to think "well, was that really as bad as I thought it was?" And then we let it go. Until the next time. And then it gradually gets worse until you're up all night curled into a ball popping Vicodin like Pez candies. Don't let it get outta hand because it can really cause a significant amount of pain.

Hi everybody. I had surgery on Feb 4th. I also have had several weeks of 1 lb weight loss recently. It's almost as if my body knows that I am hovering right over 200 and just doesn't want to flip over into the 100's. How does it know?????

Also, my hair loss has definitely picked up. I was thinking of having a consult with my hair dresser to discuss options for extensions (for volume not length).

Overall, I'm so pleased though. I was 283 last July on my first visit with the surgeon and 270 going into the pre-op diet. So down 80 lbs since last July - I'll take it!

I too have hit a stall. I can't break into the 170s. I am stuck at 181-182. I'm just keeping the scale packed away. I eat well and workout and chase baby girl around. I figure there's not much else I can do. Saw the surgeon Friday and he was happy with my progress. So I guess I have to be patient and content for now.

      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.
