Anyone had their gall bladder removed

[Emery]

I have been doing great with diet and bodybuilding and bam... Looks like my gall bladder is bad. I have been having pain in the right upper quad of my abdomen for several days, especially after eating. When you eat 6-8 times a day, this is a bitch.

Had lab drawn today. UA was good. Going for sono of liver and gall bladder tommorrow.

I am worried about the gains I have made. If I have to get it removed, how do I maintain what I've been workin so hard on. I am finally to the point that I am happy with my size, strength and health!

Fuckin Murphy's law I guess!!!!!!!

My father in law was good after about 3 days , just a little tender , had gall blader and apindex out at same time

i work with a guy though that can't eat alot of things now or he gets sick , fatty meats like a rib eye steak or big cheese burger make him ver very ill , taco bell is out and he said that if he eats fried chicken he can't have ANY skin or he gets sick.

not that most of the guys hear eat that kind of food but a Ketosis style or Palumbo style diet might give you trouble

I had problems with my gall bladder a couple of years ago and I fixed it myself. The doctors couldn't find anything wrong with me, but I had all the symptoms of gall issues. If you have it taken out, you will never be able to digest fats the same again. For the guy who knows someone that's having that problem, advise them to take digestive enzymes with bile salts with every fatty meal (I think Jarrow makes a good one). Start at a couple, and it might take quite a few to help.

The first thing I would do is the Hulda Clark Liver cleanse. **broken link removed**

You can skip all the parasite killing and kidney cleanse prep and just jump into it. When I was having an attack, this would help instantaneously.

I would also start drinking aloe like it was your job. I used to drink 6oz, three times a day and I think it helped a lot.

The above helped a lot, but I seriously think that MMS is what completely cured me. I think you can read about it here... Miracle Mineral
Now, I'm not saying I believe in everything stated there, but that really helped me...permanantly.

I would also avoid animal fats like the plague. I was always at my worst when I had alcohol or red meat. I'm not on here much, but feel free to shoot me a message.

i agree with most of the posts here, i had mine out and the first thing i thought of was..."how long am i going to be out of the gym?". i took it easy on and thing that would tax my core (DL's, squats, bent over rows, and thing standing like military press, stuff like that) and was back to normal in like 7 days or so.

Thanks

Thanks everyone. You all know how much pain and hard work a few pounds of muscle is! I appreciate all of your responses and all of you taking the time to responds. Thanks.

Thanks also Yeshawh. I will definitely check that info out!

Thanks all. Liver panel came back normal. CBC also normal.

I had mine removed, and I was perfectly fine within 3 days. You are not going to lose muscle in 3 days, so have no worries. I can now eat anything I want and not have any pains, its a beautiful thing. When youre in recovery, just drink alot of protein shakes and it will help in recovery and also allow you to retain all of your weight

Yeah I had my GB removed due to gallstones and was back to lifting after 7 days and felt 100% after about 10 days or so. Good luck.

Ultrasound results

They were all normal! Liver, pancreas, kidneys, gall bladder, etc. All were normal shape, size and without signs of disease! Labs all good also. Doc is putting me on Nexium again for a suspected duodenal ulcer or irritation!

Still having the pains but feel a little better now. The ultrasound showed a normal gall bladder with no thickening to it's walls and no stones!

Thanks all for your feedback!
