I'm sorry that you are going to have another surgery so close to your bypass, that must be really hard. I had my Gallbladder removed at the same time as my bypass and I am so happy to have it gone! I had horrible lower back pain that I had attributed to my being overweight. It was like a miracle. I wasn't able to stand for more than 1-2 minutes and even that amount was painful. Now, not only can I stand, I can also walk for an hour. As soon as the gallbaldder was gone, so was the pain.

I'm 8 months post-op lost 104 lbs and had my gallbladder out last week. I never had problems with my gallbladder before. Dr said the gastric bypass could have something to do my gallbladder problems. I feel so much better without the gallbladder.

      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.
