I have been having this excrutiating pain that I attributed to heartburn or indigestion, turns out it was my gallbladder!:sad: I went to the ER Sunday and had my gallbladder removed on Monday! I am very sore! I hope this doesn't set me back too far!!!

    It shouldn't. You might miss some time working out, but I'm sure you can still eat healthy and document your calories. Its good they caught your problem when they did.

    It's funny.... I was kicking butt at losing weight and then I had a surgery on my lower back which prevented me from working out for three whole months... Ever since then, it's been pretty hard to get back on the wagon and find my motivation again! Good luck to you though - we're here if you need us!

    Hey me too-- ran my first 5k on 4/19, had a gall stone attack that night-- too much potato salad. :blushing:

    Had gall bladder out on 4/21, home on 4/22 and I'm back to running 2 miles--

    This won't set you back-- be sensible, but don't use it as an excuse--

    good luck!

    Well, the good news is that now you don't have to worry about your gallbladder getting sick if you lose weight too fast!

    I'm glad they caught it and glad you're OK!!! Hang in there, rest up and keep coming back here for support. You can do it!!! :drinker:

    If you had invasive surgery (as opposed to laproscopic), please be very careful and discuss activity with your doctor. I had gallbladder removal (1998 invasive surgery) and 3 hernia surgerys were a direct result of that (surgery in same incision). Ten years later a staple was found in my pancreas from the 1998 gallbladder removal. Also, later last year, pseudocysts had to be drained on my pancreas. All this from the 1998 surgery. SO, BE CAREFUL. Best of Luck to you. Donna
