I'm 6 weeks post op and so far I've been happy but on Christmas Eve I went to the emergency room with stomach pains and this led to my gall bladder being removed. Nothing out of the ordinary but the night I went home I passed out and hit the floor. I went back to work yesterday after a week and the pain on the right side of my rib cage is out of control and the only thing that helps are pain killers. I hate these things but the doctor wants me to do another CAT scan. Thinks it's severe Constipation it a fall leak. I'm starting to lose confidence because the naasesu is out of control. It seems to be very co distant with back pain. I am still on soft food because I still can't eat solid food but I still get nauseated when I eat anything other than yogurt or oatmeal. Although I love the weight loss it's too much too fast. You would think that losing 40 lbs would make you feel better but I feel worse than I ever have. Has anyone experienced this or have any idea what this may be?

I'm so sorry to hear that you're having such trouble! I don't think any of us are in a position to know. I suggest you stick with your primary doctor and bariatric surgeon to get to the bottom of this to help you feel better soon. Please keep us up-to-date.

Looks like it was a hemotoba from the gall bladder surgery. I've never experienced so much pain in my life. Obviously, the gall bladder surgery was from the rapid weight loss from my sleeve surgery which was a little over 40 lbs in 5 weeks.

      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.
