    Congratulation ... 30 lbs in a month its great .. hope you wellness and quick recovery
  7. Hello Thalie,
    Well im doing great. Ive lost 30lbs since the surgery and continue to drop lbs. You will see the scale felx up and down but it is the intake and your bowls that sit. Don't worry just keep on doing what your doing. If you are unable to eat sip on gaterade, this has the things you need to function. If you are unable to keep some foods down try them back in a couple days or so. Be patient and eat slow. We are in our 3rd week, so try some oatmeal with soy milk, bananna bby food, shredded chicken with broth that is pureed, but most important drink your protein, try cottage cheese lowfat with high fiber.
    What pills are you taking?? The vitamins I bought for the surgery I cant take, so what I do is buy pre natal gummies and take 3 a day which is giving me all the nutrients I need. I find that it is easier to digest than a chewable or a swallow pill. I got my stitches removed and one opened up so bad on my lower left side that it looks like I got shot. I have to put gauze in it and keep it clean tell it closes, but other than that my incisions healed good. I hope your infection gets better, are you on antibiotics to protect your health? Keep in touch call me at 3083910326 any time.. good luck and stay safe..

    hi melissa. how are u? i am having a hard time eating so i went back to liquids. i do eat apple sause and yogurt. but only 2 oz. i drink no sugar added juices but it not very pleasant to drink. i always feel thristy. i lost 15 pounds. but i weighed myself today and it seemed like i gained 1 pound. so i dont know how that is possible. i hope i continue to lose weight. i do miss food and drinking normally. i cant tolerate water either. it makes me throw up. i also take 7 pills a day and it hard to take them with juice, i gagged. i almost throw up sometimes. its really hard. i know u must be doing great. some o my incisions opened up. i hope they heal soon. i still have one of my stitch in and its open wound. i also developed a fungus infection under my breasts. i been miserable also with so much gas, oit wont go away. write back.i didnt get a chance to say goodbye to u. keep in touch now.
  9. Thank you to all and i hope your surgerys went well. I know im feeling great.

GallBladder Removal

by melissagodinez on 05-04-2013 at 12:53 PM
I have lost so much weight in such a short period of time that it caused me to need a removal of my gallbladder. Some of the symptoms are vomiting up foam/ white spit with no food. Unable to tolerate anything and pain in the upper stomach area located just below your breast. If you feel you have any symptoms check with your doctor it may be your gallbladder.... JFYI .. Otherwise doing great. 5/19 it will be two months post opp and I feel better...
