I got yer cookie.  It's sugarfree, made with that fake c hocolate stuff and artificial carbs!  Just what you've always wanted, eh??  AAAAAHAHAHHAHA  Aren't you glad you met me now?? LMAO

Seriously.. you don't want a cookie.  You just "think" you want a cookie.  It's a jedi mind trick! 

In the meantime, I'm using the force to banish the thought of bad carbs and sugar from your mind!

I am on the Urso since day 11 after surgery to prevent gallstones.  I have to guess that these existed before the surgery.  I can't imagine that they developed in under two weeks to the size the doc is talking about.  So.. more questions for the surgeon when he returns from vacation!

YOu read correctly.. the gallbladder is on the RIGHT side.  Imagine my surprise when they found the stones and my pain is on the left.  Turns out the pain on my left, which feels very near to the surface, is a hematoma.  The doctor said that it just has to get reabsorbed by the bloodstream.  They gave me a new Roxicet Rx, but of course my pharmacy doesn't carry it.  I'll try to get back to the hospital in the AM to get it refilled.

I'm not having any pain from the gallbladder or the pancreatitiis.  Go figure.  Just the hematoma which is excrutiating when it acts up.  So... no telling when the gallbladder surgery will be.  They want me to heal more and lose some weight so that I'm a better candidate for the surgery.  I just don't want it to end up being an emergency surgery! 

The pancreas is on the left and pain from that would usually start in the abdomen and radiate around to the middle of the back.  Also not having pain from that.   Isn't medicine great??  LOL

I am not having trouble getting the liquids in .. I do forget to sip and I gulp and then pay for it.  I am having trouble with the protien part.  Just can't seem to stomach those protein shakes. 
I tried adding protien to my cottage cheese.. gross (don't try it).
So I am working on getting my protien in.
I guess I am just confused as to what I am supposed to be eating.  I have my list from the surgeon/nut but it is already old (only a week out!) lol 
I am experimenting and each day it seems a bit easier.
Slowing down the eating .. yeah working on that too!
So much to get used to but WELL worth it in the end!

I am so sorry you are going thru this. I know gb attacks can be very painful. dilaudad is a wonderful drug.

Usaully they don't develope this quickly. Did you have a ultrasound of yuor gb before the wls?

That is why they do it. to find the stones. I no I didn't have one cuz I no I have stones but I found out the other day, my surgeon didn't kknow I had stones. You should have seen the look I got when I told her.

Hope you feel better soon.

Here is some good karma to help you thru it
