I've posted here a couple of times over the last year, and am here yet again hopefully this time i stick with it. I am trying to lose weight before I get married next year. I just had gallbladder surgery on Saturday, and am still really sore. Has anyone else out there had gallbladder surgery, and if so do u remember how long it was before you could get back to doing things.
Well, just a little bit about me I guess. My name is Destiny, and I'm 23 years old. I have been overweight (obese) since I can remember. I wear a size 20, and am 5'2. I am hoping to get down to wearing a size 12 before I get married next August. I want to look how I feel. I have tried like every diet out there, and haven't found anything I can really stick too. I'm also not very motivated when it comes to exercising. I'm hoping that gets better now that I've had surgery. Anyone out there give me some much needed advice?
Thanks Destiny

I hope a smooth recovery for the surgery i do not know anything about it. Nice to met you and Hope are destiny comes true this time that we can stick with it and met are goals
Hello-
I had my gallbladder removed 2 years ago and my recovery was pretty quick. It was only a few days later that I was able to get up and about and doing my normal schedule. I was even extra sore because the ?anasthesia? made me sick. I was throwing up every 45 minutes for about 12 hours. So you can imagine, I was really sore. I think thats why it took me so long to recover. But a week later I had my stiches removed and after that I was okay. I didnt do any heavy exercises or anything like that but I was up cleaning and taking care of the kids and everything I always done. I would say that after 2 weeks max, it was like nothing ever happened.
Im perfectly fine now, I havent had any problems with certain foods or anything. Although I wouldnt want to go through it again though. LOL
Before that I had considered the weight loss surgery but after I had my gallbladder removed I was like naa dont think so.
Im sure you'll be fine in a few days. :-)
