Hi there-

Whatever happened? Are you ok? My gallbladder pain was on right side to the middle of my stomach area and it began after l ate greasy food or drank alcohol. It was a relief to get it removed! Hope you’re ok!

I used to have gallbladder pain years ago, and was told it was sludge. So I'm familiar with how can feels.

Before surgery and Now that I'm 42 lbs down, I've had similar pain, but ultra sound revealed no problems. I was puzzled, and still in pain.

Mentioned it to my massage therapist and she massaged my rib muscles (intercostal?). The next day it felt like I'd been hit by a truck, but day 3 it was much better.

So, I'm not saying don't see your doctor, but if you check out OK, yet still have pain not related to eating, maybe it's muscle related.

mine felt like the flu every time i ate. bodyaches nausea pain under my rib cage going to the back and radiating up. for months i went to the er and they kept saying viral infection, flu, stress. changed hospitals and the dr actually listened instead of reciting me out of a textbook. sent me for an ultrasound and turned out his hunch was right i had 100-200 stones. i waitressed at that time so basically a greasy diet....thankfully he listened to me.

It's been a while since I had my gallbladder out, but I don't remember any running to the bathroom issues. It was painful--horribly painful--and sometimes I'd force myself to throw up because then I'd feel a bit better. It would keep me awake most of the night. Gallbladder attacks tended to be tied to eating (overeating) fried, fatty, or greasy foods.

If you think this is your issue, consult your physician. Or, basically, since you have some issue/concern, consult your physician!

Good luck.

Good advice here.

I had mine removed a couple years ago. It is the WORST PAIN I've EVER experienced and I have 3 kids. There is no position to relieve the pain. It hurt so bad I couldn't move, let alone run to the bathroom. I would sweat even though I felt cold. The attacks would last for hours. Mine usually happened at night after eating a lot of fatty food. I'm so glad to be rid of my gallbladder!

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
