Keep us updated! I hope it's not that for you too! A problem with my gallbladder is now my newest biggest fear. I'm so worried it's gonna cause me problems and I'm gonna need to get it out. I was abruptly taken off of the medication the Surgeon prescribes to lessen the risk of gallstones a few days ago. I may be allergic to it. Soooooooooo now I wait and see if I miraculously pull thru without problems or not. I hear that if you pass the 9-12 month mark without any gallbladder issues, that you're most likely in the clear. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong) So I have 7-10 months to wait and see!

I'd be PI**ED!!!! serious breach of confidentiality! I'm sure you and about 499 other patients called the office this morn! I wonder if anyone will be reprimanded? (Is that the correct word? "Get in trouble")

You've come to the right place! Just fiddle fart thru all of the forums and the posts from other patients (of all surgeries) and you'll get a lot of your questions answered. You'll quickly see that this is the best site for all support! Read read read! And good luck to you on Monday and keep us updated! You will not regret this amazing tool you are giving yourself

Omg! How are you now?

Great motivating thread!

Love the jar idea too!

Omg you're adorable! Love the second photo! You are doing so great!! And I love your weight loss tracker! I might have to make one of those too! I'm feeling very crafty lately

I'd say the 64 Oz is a minumum. Feel free to get in more! Good luck!

Oh yay! So like 4 of us now from Canada! ! Yahhhoooo hahaha

Gorgeous midriff Looks like it always looked like that! Congratulations!

Absolutely amazing! ! Great transformation! Your hard work shows beautifully!

I watch YouTube videos too! I'm on myfitnesspal - anyone feel free to add me HeatherKNelson

Teared up a little here. Yes it does sound that this surgery could potentially save your life. With heart disease so dominate in your family.. yikes! I hope this all falls into place for you and you live a long healthy life. Live to be 105 woman! ????

All the above. Especially the secret binge eating and sometimes drinking late at night while watching Netflix. I love going out for dinner and drinks with friends. It is one of my favorite things to do in the whole wide world. And going to the movies - for the popcorn of course. I still watch Netflix but drink my Water while doing it. Still go to a movie once in a while but just inhale the smell of popcorn and then ignore it while actually focusing on the movie! Have only gone out for dinner twice in 8 weeks and did well with it. I will admit, it is definitely not as fun because you can't "let go" and enjoy yourself as much, but I did have many many years of doing just that so I'm good with it.

I thought it was just me!!! In fact, I have noticed it so much that I had to make an eye appointment for next week. I hope it's not as bad as I think! I literally just filled a years worth of contacts - if I have to go out and buy another years worth, I'll be kinda pissed! (I'm sure Costco will exchange though)

Soooooooooo ADDICTED!!!!! it's worse than my Netflix addiction! In fact, I have been watching Netflix for 3 episodes of Longmire, and have no idea what I just watched because I've been catching up on BP! Love you all! ????

I should've read this before I posted my comment. Thank you for explaining more.

I completely agree. Sorry, no offence but she's right. All of your posts are asking about what you can eat and when. You're so early in and every post from practically post op day 1 has been questions about what foods you can eat at this stage or it almost sounds like what foods you want to try to get away with eating. Did you go home with a food plan or a schedule for stages? Maybe not focus so much on food. I know that's hard to do since we've all done it for so long! Can you try and find a hobby or something to take your mind off the food part of this journey? I wish you success and I am rooting for you. I hope your cravings damper down and you beat your head hunger. Again, I apologize for sounding a bit harsh but it has been an observation for quite some time and just want you to succeed at this!

Holy sh*t she would've gotten a piece of my mind! And maybe a bit of my fist. (No not really but it would definitely cross my mind!)

Glad to hear from you Dallas! I'm happy you're pursuing this and getting it dealt with. You deserve it. Please keep us updated every time you see your surgeon and what gets said and done. We are all rooting for you! !

Oh and I am pretty sure (sleevers step in here please) that a person that had the gastric sleeve can also experience dumping syndrome. But maybe not as likely or often...?

Yay I lost this week! Now 238.0

You can't steal what's been freely given! I think it would be a very good exercise for me. For me too!

Awe that's awesome So today you are happy813. .. not kranky813! Yay!

I might have to steal this idea. Hope to don't mind
