Gallbladder and weight loss



Recommended Posts

There's a good chance my gallbladder has to come out( I'm 8 mo post op). But I e been reading from different web sites it slows weightloss down dramatically. Is that true?

I had mine out at the same time I had the VSG surgery (2 for 1 special, LOL). I've lost 35.2 pounds in 6 weeks. I know people that have had just their gall bladder removed and lost weight!

I had my gallbladder removed 18 years ago. So I hope it doesn't matter.

I had my gallbladder removed at the same time as sleeve surgery. I'm one weeks 2 days post-op. I gained 10 pounds from swelling and fluids. As of today I lost 13 pounds. So at least a 3 pound lost in one week....the rest was fluids and swelling. I'm happy with that. ???? Good Luck!!!

I had my gallbladder out a month after my sleeve surgery (not fun) and it had no impact on my weight loss other than delaying my return to normal activity levels. You should be fine 8 months out as long as you stick with your program :-)

Well this theory is true for me, lost 83lbs in first 3 months after surgery, the gallbladder was then removed. Since it was removed its been 7 months and ive lost a further 52 lbs more. I still have A further 81 lbs to hit goal.

Two days of being sore. A few new small incisions. And a few months of diarrhea while your body adapts to not having s gall bladder and the constant drip of bile from the liver. An easy surgery.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
