It's kinda common and I'm sure if you ask some moms around you, you will find a handful that had their gall bladder out because of pregnancy. It was an easy procedure, although a minor setback to my Operation Body Back before Naples Trip in 2 weeks. No working out for about a week and no lifting my 2 year old Taylor.
But I already feel relief and am looking forward to seeing results a little quicker now that I have that problem out of the way!

I had the chance to workout by MYSELF, so I went running outside! I did hills for 30 minutes and halfway through I stopped for a bunch of different planks (thread the needles, boomerangs from Shed 5 Fast DVD). Got home and did CFS Method number 3…I can finally hold my abs in on auto pilot! Activating my pelvic floor and Transverse Abdominis is finally a habit!
I noticed a HUGE difference in my abs (especially the lower abdomen) after more toning and less cardio.

Core Metabolic Jumpstart DVD. Feeling rather crummy today and after 2 weeks of tests I am ready to have a diagnosis on what’s wrong with me. Self diagnosis: take the ole gall bladder out!
Feeling awful.
My brother went into the hospital with his heart functioning at 20% - scary!!!!! Once mom and dad arrived I had to go see my surgeon. Gall bladder is functioning at 10% so it’s coming out in the morning!

Wow - you're non stop! Very very impressive. I hope that I can commit that much to getting back in shape.
I have some questions, but I'm a little long winded so I'll send you a private message so I don't take up too much comment space :) please don't make special time to answer- just whenever you get around to it.
I had to have my gallbladder out when my son was 2 1/2 months old. I had never heard pregnancy could cause gallbladder problems, but several people told me they had the same thing happen. I couldn't exercise for 2 weeks after the surgery. I was so disappointed since I had just started making progress before the gallbladder attacks started.
Wow, same thing for me, my first daughter was 4 months old and I had attacks so bad I was in the emergency room a couple times before getting it out. Great to have it done though! Good luck and I'm sure you'll be feeling better in no time!
Oh.. one question - the boot camp that you're doing, is that the original? or boot camp 2?
Having that sucker out had me feeling better the same day! Who knew it could cause so much pain and discomfort. I am also down 5-6 pounds, too much water retention with the gall bladder inside!
Vanessa, it's mostly Postnatal Boot Camp (the original). Did I read on one of your other comments you live in the mountains? That must be so refreshing.
Yes, I do live in the mountains. It's very refreshing but it's such a tiny town that there's nothing up here (everything is 60+ miles). It's mostly dirt roads and having grown up in Hollywood, CA I don't really fit in - haha. I've been up here for 5 years and hubby & I still get looked at like we have 3 heads :)
So cool about your relief and weight loss. That's amazing.
