I did not get my gallbladder removed. Feels like rib pain? I stopped taking my actigall due to nausea, perhaps I should start back. Just feels like the rib is sore.

Hello. I am post op day 11. I woke this morning with right upper abdomen pain, close to the rib cage, mainly with intake of breath.has anyone had this? I wonder if I slept wrong, I did sleep on my right side for a bit last night.

We are on full liquids upon discharge from hospital. At 2 weeks puréed At 6 weeks soft foods At 9 weeks regular

I think if you are having trouble keeping down fluids then you should try to get in your water first and foremost. But I was started on fulls at 3 days post op and Ihave had no trouble keeping them down.

I! I am in the first week post op, and on full liquids. I bought some vanilla Greek yogurt for protein. However, I think they taste nasty. Any suggestions on how I can make them taste better?

If your surgery was 3 months ago, and you haven't been self injecting yourself with blood thinners, they should be out of your system. Maybe you are anemic? Do you take iron?

I was told 4 to 6 weeks. But I do a lot of heavy lifting.

Hello! Sleeved yesterday, feeling tired and nauseas. Pain mainly in right side of abdomen. Doctor said probably from cutting muscles. I sleep a lot, thanks to the phenergan for nausea. On oral pain meds, and have had my bariatric first meal. I have walked a lot, try to walk at least every 2 hours. Nurses are awesome. Doctor great.

I am sleeved! I got to my room about 6 pm. I really hurt and have had some dry heaves (ouch!) I had a hiatal hernia the doc repaired also, so maybe that's why so much pain. Looking forward to relief from gerd though. I am so sleepy!

Trouble going to sleep last ***ht thinking of all possible complications and how much I love my children. I have 2 boys and a girl. One of my boys is severly disabled and in a wheelchair. He's starting to get heavy, and is one of the main reasons for me doing this. I need to get healthy so I can be around to care for him. I am a little nervous about laying on the surgery table naked off to the hospital at 10:45

Just got surgery time. 12:30. Egads! I have to be at the hospital at 10:45. I can have clear liquids until 7:45 am. (Thank heavens!)

Good luck to everyone today!!! Most important, make sure you get up and walk today after surgery!

I made it through another day of the pre op diet! And there were doughnuts available at work and those are my favorite!

Carlab51, I am so sorry to hear about the results of your CT scan. Good luck with your PET scan and hopefully everything will turn out to be allright.

I hate the fact that just because we are overweight people think they can be rude about it. Someone once stopped me in the grocery store and congratulated me on my pregnancy. When I let her know I wasn't pregnant, she then went ahead and told me what items in my cart were making me fat and that I shouldn't buy them.

MamaMelly, what a great note to get from your grandma!

Please add me to MFP. My name is sydylo2. Thanks! So I had a kid in the hospital and did not do good Monday and Yesterday afternoon. I have 8 days till surgery. I have let my family know how important it is for me to do good on my pre op diet for the remaining days. I read how great everyone else has been, without any trouble, and I am not sure what my problem is!

Trying to use up 50 pounds of zucchini from my garden in this pre op diet, where I am allowed some veggies every day. Any suggestions? I have been boiling them in beef broth with mrs.dash spicy blend. Not too bad, but 49 pounds of zucchini left.

Sounds like you have some serious misgivings about the surgery. I haven't had any dreams like that. I do think towards the negative, like getting on the table and being found full of cancer or horrible stomach ulcers and they can't perform the surgery. Did you see a psychiatrist for clearance prior to surgery? Hope you can find peace with your decision!

What are good sites to look at clothes on?
