Hi @@Prada-Savassi, welcome to the forums :) . This has been answered in numerous threads, you may want to utilise the search feature and type in "gallbladder", it will bring up a number of threads which you can get a lot of information from :)

Hello esskay 77,

Is the reason behind you having your Gall Bladder out, due to your Gastric Bypass Surgery?? I hope you don't mind me asking.

Have a great night. Prada

I don't know. I have heard that it is very common for wls people to have gall bladder issues. But I think I have had issues before the surgery but didn't know what it was.

I had my gallbladder out 7 months to the day after my rny (last Thursday to be exact). I'm glad it started acting up because while my doc was in there he discovered some other things that didn't show up on my ct scan. I'm glad it went out

I had my gall bladder removed along with having my gastric bypass. My Dr said he wanted to be pro active, that he knew I would have to have it removed in the near future so why cut on me twice :-)

      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.
