It could be your gallbladder...do you still have it?

It could be your gallbladder, but I had a similar pain and it ended up being bad Constipation. You don't realize how little you go since you eat so little now, but it's good to cleanse every now and then to make sure things empty out, sometimes it gets trapped up there. I was afraid of gallbladder issues so I drink those chinese teas that keep the stones emptying out just to be safe. If you want to be safe, do an apple cider vinegar and olive oil mixture and it'll wash out stones.

I'm gonna say gall bladder. Very common with weight loss.

If it's upper right, it's likely gallbladder, but if it's upper left it might be a gastric ulcer. Either way sounds like it needs to be checked out.

I'm 5 months post op and ended up in ER the other night for severe upper right abdominal pain. Got the call from my surgeon today confirming lots of stones and sludge. Surgery in 2 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.
