It is your gallbladder and it is going to only get worse. You really need to have it looked at soon.

Thanks SuperFab. As a nurse I tend to talk my way out of diagnoses and think, "That's not me! I'm not part of the majority!" Lol! I know that's nonsense in this case because my symptoms were straight out of a med/surg assessment book! I've not had any pain since late last night. I have an appt with my surgeon on the 17th, but I may see her at work before then.

Since it comes and goes it's easy to think "well, was that really as bad as I thought it was?" And then we let it go. Until the next time. And then it gradually gets worse until you're up all night curled into a ball popping Vicodin like Pez candies. Don't let it get outta hand because it can really cause a significant amount of pain.

Hi everybody. I had surgery on Feb 4th. I also have had several weeks of 1 lb weight loss recently. It's almost as if my body knows that I am hovering right over 200 and just doesn't want to flip over into the 100's. How does it know?????

Also, my hair loss has definitely picked up. I was thinking of having a consult with my hair dresser to discuss options for extensions (for volume not length).

Overall, I'm so pleased though. I was 283 last July on my first visit with the surgeon and 270 going into the pre-op diet. So down 80 lbs since last July - I'll take it!

I too have hit a stall. I can't break into the 170s. I am stuck at 181-182. I'm just keeping the scale packed away. I eat well and workout and chase baby girl around. I figure there's not much else I can do. Saw the surgeon Friday and he was happy with my progress. So I guess I have to be patient and content for now.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
