Evolve, chocolate. Also, almond butter powder. (I'm allergic to peanuts, soy, eggs & dairy. Fake sugar upsets my stomach & gives me migraines.)
Greens detox pwdr, the Dr was very pleased with me having these. It made the surgery so much easier. (I had Liver detox pills also, which he liked. I started on them about 2 months prior.
I get Protein Water for my mom who is Diabetic.
And Bai for the antioxidants, cuz I can't stand most gatorade. I also get infused water.
Protein crisps for my mom and me when I am up to that level.
The Maca Up is best in something like mashed potatoes. It is a little texturey in shakes.< br>The unflavored Organic Protein, I put in Soups and mashed potatoes with plenty of broth pwdr or other seasoning. It has a very light vanilla-ish taste. But is easily seasoned over.
You know, I'll just put pics. Also, I get everything I can on subscribe and save at Amazon.com.
Hope this helps.[emoji4]

I have PCOS. It was the reason I had my surgery. I take my Vitamins as my doctor has advised, in addition I take the Neocell Beauty Infusion for my Hair loss. 6000mg of collagen and 3000mg Biotin. It’s helped a lot.
My weight loss is slow but after seven months I’m 63kgs. 138lbs. Just don’t give up!!!

Beautiful views! Thanks for sharing.

This happened to my mom a few years backs. She'd had an infection that required several rounds of antibiotics, she's Diabetic, not in the best health, but not taking insulin, or severely obese. And all of a sudden her liver enzymes were up, her scans showed it to be fatty and enlarged.
She's always been a teatotaler, so the Dr. looked a bit closer. Figured out the combo of meds led to the liver problem, which many varieties can do this. Put her on a Liver detox/cleanse, sorry I can't recall what exactly but I had to take a liver cleanse before my sleave surgery.
(Rather than take meds, I used 'Green' and started a month early, with my delighted Dr.s approval. I put the pics in, I got them at Amazon, great prices with subribe and save.)
As for the Gallbladder, sorry to say, but sometimes they just go bad. Mine went bad suddenly, well maybe not. I ignore pain really well. So, my first symptom was puking everything even Water, followed by an er visit, cuz 48 hrs without liquid while puking equals baddd. 7 days later, my GB was removed, it was "ugly".
Since then I have encountered many people with similar stories. If you manage to keep it, have some pineapple with every meal, and avoid iceberg lettuce. In fact, go for the greens that are thicker, like fresh spinach, butter lettuce, baby hearts of romaine... These things are true for if you lose it as well.
Sorry if I sound bossy, but I want to save you pain.
Speaking of, moist heat or a heating pad on low will help with your gallbladder pain.
Unfortunately, you may find even if you get to keep you GB, that some meats won't sit well anymore. And it is different for everone.
I take Papaya enzymes to help out. Most use pineapple enzymes, I'm allergic. It might be enough to keep you GB, don't know.
But, the cleanse and enzymes can't hurt.
And seeing a Neurologist that is a diagnostician or at least is willing to be put in charge of all you meds and drs to make sure that they aren't working against each other.
That's who we had for my mom, as soon as the levels came back off, our primary sent her over to the neuro we worked with as a central hub.
I hope this has helped in some small way.

My surgery is still coming up, but I’ve been sampling some different Protein Shakes to get ready. I like Premier (from costco, Target, or Amazon) - the chocolate and caramel flavors are my favorite and I also like strawberry, peach, and banana. I’ve also tried Orgain (also from Costco and Amazon) with whey Protein - I love their creamy chocolate fudge flavor but don’t like the creamy chocolate. I’ve used and enjoyed SFH’s Fuel and Pure powders mixed with milk in the past (ordered from Amazon) and have been stocking up on a bunch of flavors. I also got a Protein2o protein Water variety pack on Amazon that is pretty good - planning on freezing some in popsicle pouches for right after surgery.

I have PCOS, and my thyroid affects it. Or vice-versa. Anyway, I had the surgery due to Gastroperisis, Oct 3rd. And have already lost 15lbs.
I did used to have issues with losing weight, no matter how little or healthy I ate. And even gained weight. It was ridiculous.
All I can say is, talk to your Gastro doctor about your concerns. And get your T3 and T4 thyroid tested. A COMPLETE thyroid panel. I am on 2 thyroid RX, to keep it under contol. The weight gain stopped after that.

Heating pad. Or 'wet' heat. Like a rice pack or a gel pack. In the hospital, I was given a large gel pack to use. Whichever, the heat works wonders.

Thank you for checking in!!
My surgeons office didnt seem very interested in this obstacle. I was told to go back to all liquids for a few days... I did call my PCP, and he informed me that when I feel like something is "stuck" to try a few sips of tolerably hot Water to see if it helps break it down a bit to help it move on through. This has helped some.
I will be 1 month post op tomorrow, and Im still terribly sore on the left side and I keep feeling "catches" and super sore, sometimes catch my breath pain that comes and goes with movement and bending. My husband says its just everything healing up on the inside. But I plan to bring it up at my next appointment on the 28th.

My husband is on some meds that make him constipated all the time. He uses Colace to keep things "moving" I hope you find something that works well for you @LadyVS
