Gallbladder issues already?



Recommended Posts

I am 25 days out and the past two days I have had pain on my right side around the rib cage. The pain actually feels like a lactic acid build up, same as what happens when you walk or run too fast. Can gallbladder attacks happen this soon out? I am awaiting a call back from my surgeon office.

They could if your gallbladder had stones in them previous to the surgery. Did your surgeon have it tested?

The pain is more upper abdomen directly under the right breast and extends across the upper abdomen to the left.

Hope its just gas pain for you.

Id it happens again before you get the ultrasound keep a mental note of what you ate previous to that pain. Gallbladder attacks usually come on from a fatty meal.

Mine happened after I had a chunk of cheese.

      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.
