I wasn't on actigul. I have had some trouble the last few days with feeling sick after solid food...not sure if that is related to gallbladder or if it is something else going on. I do feel like a whole new person, though. It is amazing to be this healthy. I am off of all of the mess I had to take prior to surgery. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Be very careful with things like Cappuccino and chai lattes for the kuerig. Many of those have added sugars. My NUT approved regular coffee for me at 6 weeks post op. I use my kuerig everyday to have a cup of coffee in the morning, but only coffee--nothing with added carbs or sweeteners. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I had my rny done in April 2016. Doing very well with weight loss. At the beginning of December, I started having pain in my right side. Did an ultrasound, gallstones discovered, had gallbladder removed on December 30, 2016. I have healed well from gallbladder surgery, but I'm still having a problem. When I eat actual solid food, I have pain and nausea. I eat a small amount. I chew well, but still pain. I can tolerate Soup, yogurt, and Protein shakes without any issue. I ate about one ounce of moist pork for dinner tonight, and stopped because of pain and nausea. Anyone have this happen after gallbladder removal? I follow up with my dr this week, and will definitely tell him. Just wondering if others have had this experience. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I can't believe it has been almost 9 months! I'm doing really well. I've lost about 125 pounds all together, about 75 since surgery. I had some trouble with my gallbladder, which was removed on December 30. I was feeling sick/in pain for a month or so before that, but am feeling much better now. I'm about 30 lbs away from my goal weight, and I'm planning on running a 5k to Celebrate my one year surgiversary. How are you doing? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I had rny gastric bypass done 8 months ago. Just had my gallbladder removed two days ago. For me, symptoms were sharp stabbing pains in my upper right abdomen and nausea/vomiting. My surgeon said that the better you do with wls, the more likely you are to have trouble with your gallbladder. Because my gallbladder surgery was just two days ago, I'm in some pain now. I have four new incisions on my belly. It certainly has not made me regret having weight loss surgery, though. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

My husband bought me one for Christmas! So far, I've made pork chops and applesauce and Mac and cheese in it--both were good. Hoping to make chicken lemon Soup today. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

i find the caramel very sweet and butterscotchy tasting. For me, this is one I made pudding with, instead of drinking straight generally, as it is my least favorite of the four I have. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Gallstone surgery today and all went well. Dr said there was one large gallstone causing all of this trouble. Glad to have it removed. I now have five additional incisions on my belly. The pain today has been fairly bad. The pain meds they gave me say to take one or two, and I've been taking two (unusual for me). I'm sure I will be feeling better in the next few days though. Terrible gas pain--I'm having rny flashbacks! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Ultrasound confirmed gallstones. Ugh. 7 days until it is out. Thank God for zofran and pain meds. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I can see where you are coming from with this, but dumping is sometimes presented to a bypass patient as a good thing, in that you can't eat sugar anymore without severe consequences, so it will help you lose weight. Dumping was listed in my information packet as a 'benefit' to the surgery, so I can understand the OP's point of view. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Yeah! Best job in the world!!

I weigh daily and record my weight in an app called Happy scale. It is awesome. It gives you a rolling average of weight loss, current rate of loss, projections for when you will reach your goal based on a few scenarios. I really recommend it. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I don't dump either. I do have a reactive hypoglycemic though, which makes my blood sugar spike than crash....so, I try to be very careful with sugars. I passed out once from low blood sugar since my surgery, and I really don't want that to happen again. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Sure...sharp, stabbing pains in the upper right abdomen (for me, very close to the bottom right of my rib cage). Nausea, some vomiting, some diarrhea. Pain also frequently radiates to the back, upper right shoulder blade area for me. Other symptoms (that I don't have) include jaundice and dark colored urine.

It has certainly boosted my weight loss the last few weeks, but it hasn't been good for my Couch 2 5k routine. I've been eating

I have been having classic symptoms of gallstones for the last couple of weeks. I saw my surgeon, who ordered an ultrasound and scheduled gall bladder removal for December 30. In the meantime, I'm taking zofran as needed for nausea (and I have some pain meds if it gets really bad). Any suggestions on what to eat that's might not upset things further? I feel so sick to my stomach that I'm not eating much of anything. Still drinking fluids, though. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
