Im just near 3 weeks post op and had to have another surgery to remove my gallbladder..

Yep, me too. It's apparently quite common after rapid weight loss to get numerous small gallstones. Had my gallbladder removed at 4 months post-op. really messing with my progress Good luck! Hope we get back on track soon.

What do you mean its messing with ur progress?? Does it slow weight loss after its removed?

I had a perfect gallbladder pre-op and my surgery was in May and by July I was having emergency surgery to remove it. Saying Adios to that lil guy allowed diarrhea to say aloha all the damn time. :-| seriously you should hear my stomach at this moment sounds like a water cooler and all I'm drinking is water w/ electrolyte mio in it. o.O

Slowing down my exercise regime, not been to the gym for 2 weeks and no abdominal exercise for at least 1 month post-op. Also gained a lot of weight ? Fluid while in hospital. Had no appetite for 2 weeks, did not take in enough Protein, that always causes my weight loss to stall or slow down.

Saying all of that, I feel so much better now. Appetite returned and will try to go to gym next next. Now to get over my stall...

Good luck with your recovery, we'll get there in the end!

about 5 years ago I lost 80 lbs really fast on some medication my dr gave me.....and sure enough I had to have my gallbladder out within a month of losing it!

So I am HAPPY i had that experience then, and not after my RNY.

Hope you are doing well and recovering!
