Well done on that huge loss Kirsty!.... Have you been offered a drug called Actagol for your gallstones?.... It helps break them down and stops the bile becoming thick and sludgy which is often a result of rapid weight loss and causes the pain your experiencing also....It might be worth asking about it?

Thank you x
I'm currently on alverine citrate/audmonal for them, they are only small stones so.. Hopefully won't need to ask for much else after I've seen the surgeon next week!! X

Bless Ya love x I've not had any pain since Wednesday... But this is what it does.. No pain at all for a few weeks then bam 3/4 episodes in a few days.. Xx

Well, I clearly jinxed myself or something when I sent that post because the pain has started and I've taken all my tablets an hour ago and it's started in the past 15 mins.. Had a protein shake with honey, Nutella and milk at 9pm that's that last thing I ate. I am so pissed off now. Can't try anything at all now! X

Bless u it's actually worse than the op times a thousand and defo worse than labour. I can't have anything at all with anti inflammatory in it so volterol ect no good for me can't even apply it to anyone else. The doc said he can't give me the tablets they would normally use as it has it in...(brings on severe asthma attack) my temp is up at the min because of it. I can't eat anything at all and drinking think I have managed about 400mls today.
You get to see specialist Wednesday don't you hun? I really pray that your pain goes quickly and that they sort you hun because feeling like this is totally rotten. Big hugs xx

That's so crap about the anti inflammatory meds - o have asthma but I'm lucky they don't set me off.. Well put it this way with the pain, I am looking forward to having an operation than having the pain any more!! I struggle to drink or eat when I've had or having an attack too.. Can't even manage water as feel like throwing up but I just can't be sick

I'm not seeing a specialist, I'm seeing my surgeon who did wls as he does gallbladder removals too. Was told if possible to see my wls surgeon as he'd be better to do op as insides will be familiar to him.. Where they are situated etc.. So that's what I've done, pushed and pushed for an appointment with him.. It's taken 2 months to get one though!! I hope you're feeling better this morning xxx

Much easier day today hun but yes I know what you mean about no even being able to drink water. It's my wls surgeon that will do mine too but if it's too long a wait the surgeon that's at our hospital said she will put me right to the top of the list if I need to but not easy at the effect on bypass. I see my wls team on the 22nd so a least I will know what's what. Just going to have to stay drugged up coz it leaves me pain free. Still not eating so my head is away with the fairies xx

Bless Ya Hun, I've managed some food - dried fruit and nuts for breakfast and only had them as I was going shopping and didn't want to shop on an empty stomach.. Had sausage mash peas and a tiny bit of a yorkies pud for lunch and apple for snack and can't decide on tea.. I'm starving but scared to eat t night cause it's when my pain starts

I agree with you on drugged up lol I have to take the nefopam and tramadol 3 times aday as and when but a im just taking them to try and keep on to of it.. Xx

Haven't even managed a third of a bisto Shepards pie and the pain started :'''( that was at half 7 and it is gradually getting stronger and stronger.. Wednesday needs to hurry the hell up and I need to be told I can get it removed and that it will be soon!! I feel so ill again and I'm just really getting so mad at my body!! Decided I'm going to stick to fluids in the evening and try not to eat anything after 5... I just want it to stop happening :'(

Crystalrainbow · Dec 1, 2014

I have managed half a glass of juice since it started.. And that was mainly for pain killers... Ending up coming to my mums to wait for pain killers to kick in and if they didn't was going to a&e.. I took all my meds plus 2 solpadol when I got to mums.. Don't know when the pain stopped but the solpadol sent me to sleep in about 40 mins... Xx
