I had my gallbladder removed before I had bypass. My pain was all on the right side, just under the ribcage. It was a constant aching, but when I ate it was a sharp pain that made me feel like I couldn't breathe! Some people get the pain into their back area too. Get it checked out if you aren't sure! My son waited and ended up in the hospital for days with a diseased yucky gallbladder!

Thanks!!! I'm def gonna look into it but my pain is lower than that.

Had an injection on Thursday. Still in pain but it takes some days for it to work, IF it is going to. Fingers crossed! Spent yesterday with my great nephews. They are now too heavy for me to carry around so I just rock and snuggle. Go back to the spine surgeon in three weeks for the next steps! Looking to plan a little vacation to see ajustice!

Wow, we all need to feel better! Crud, moving craziness, more surgeries, hospitalization. We're all a mess! Lol. I'm seeing a surgeon for my ear tomorrow, to see if brain surgery will help...yikes! I'm also having weird neurological symptoms like slurring words numbness, etc. Lots of questions. MS? Lyme disease? Lupus? I need a health advocate...doctors are stupid, lol. Prayers we all get better soon.

Weight is pretty stable at 174. I'm ok with that, as long as I don't gain!

Wow keep me posted on what is going on! Thats some serious stuff but if you have a great trusted surgeon that can help, it may be worth it. Great job on the weight! I can't get to onderland for the life of me! Was 200.3 on Sunday and today was 203.4. I just don't get it and it's frustrating at hell! I know I'm retaining some Water cuz I wake up puffy. Want to head out for a good walk but leg is hurting so bad today. Frustrating beyond belief but I keep hanging in there! Good luck April friends!! Love you all!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
