Gall bladder<br><br> Has anyone after WLS had gall bladder problems? What symptoms? How did it feel?

it is pain that occurs after you eat. It can radiate to you back. Any pain should be reported to your doctor.

Gallbladder pain usually originates from the right side just below your ribs. My worst attack felt like hard labor contractions. Severe pain, starting from the right and radiating around my whole midsection around to my back. The pain came in continuous waves and my attack lasted about seven hours. They usually do an ultrasound to diagnose gallstones. They may also do blood work. My surgeon said if you have one attack you will have more so they take it out. My daughter put off having her gallbladder out till she graduated from URI. The last six weeks before graduation she had attacks daily ranging from bad to severe. I don't know how she lasted that long.

Both my daughters and I had our gallbladders removed. Gallbladder surgery is the most common surgery in the world.

      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.
