Gonna be skinny!
Glad the op went well, and there must be a few pounds in gall stone? M your the expert of medicine? x x
Thanks Lou but only vaguely medical really. Sadly gall stones are often small and weigh little for the agony they cause. Some can be large but I still guess not much weight. However if Jen had some that accounted for all of her 11lb holiday gain good god they must be some size and I bet they will bottle them for future students to marvel at.
Jen Hope you're improving and can come back soon

Hello!!! Am finally back home! Been such a horrible way to end the holidays! Back to looking after myself tho! Am feeling much better although scars are looking a little pathetic unfortunately! I am not too clued on medical details due to a large quantity of morphine! The whole ordeal is a bit of a blur really! I know that a stone escaped and my pancreas was very infected which stopped them operating for a while. Some sort of liver enzyme test which should have been about 50ish was over 800 if thats means anything M and my CRP (some sort of infection thing) was over 120 when it should have been under 10! lol! It was a wee pesky stone that had escaped that caused all the pain! apparently you can either gain lots of weight after having your gallbladder removed or lose loads of weight, I am naturally hoping for the latter! lol! Back to the grind on Friday! Hopefully I will have lost some of the holiday weight after my week long fast in hospital! Could even drink, had a drip. They kept saying, oh bet you dont even feel like eating anything anyway...I was soooo hungry! They said it was quite unusual for someone to be so hungry when in pain! Felt a little embarrassed then annoyed when woman next to me got tea and toast...smelt so good! lol!

glad you're back home - take care of yourself hunnybunch xxx
Its great to see you back Jen
Yep those test results were sky high indicators of a problem so very good you got it sorted. Now you're back home you will hopefully start to get better every day but it can take 6-8 weeks to get an anaesthetic out of your system which can leave you feeling tired and your pulling about during the op leaves you sore and often bruised. The scars will start to look better after 4-6 weeks also. At 4 months mine are now fading nicely.
Don't stress re the gain just get back to it when you can but please carry on you were doing so great and I so want to see you where you want to be weightwise after all your hard work.
Take care
