Excellent choice. Hope you are feeling better about your up coming surgery.
Thank you, i do. Still feeling nervous but i know its the only way. My weight keeps dropping. I already bought me a few of my fav food for after the operation^^
Best advice I can give is after your surgery, walk. When they get you up to walk, it will hurt. Suck it up and walk, as much as you can stand and more. It is important to "wake up" everything inside and get it all moving.

I was told after my operation to watch the fat at first and increase the fiber in my diet (so if your fav foods involve oil and fat you might want to take it easy for the first week). I haven't had any real problems with what I've eaten after my operation, other people from what I've read may have some problems digesting fat (usually with diarrhea). I pretty much eat the same way I did before I had mine out (but then, I don't overdo it on the fat, get a lot of fiber, and don't eat a lot of meat anyway). I do take a probiotic daily now, which seems to help with my digestion. They'll probably give you a list of diet tips to follow post-op. Believe me, you're going to be a lot happier when it's gone.

I had no post-op pain to speak of, on the other hand (laparoscopy) - up and walking with no pain, and a day later drove 800 miles home. Hopefully the OP's experience will be more like mine.

Yeah, I had surgery on a Friday, back to work on Monday.
They tell you don't do any heavy lifting, so watch that. I had no problem eating anything and everything after, but I have heard some people do.

For some reason, I thought gallbladder pain was on the right side, like just under the ribs. There is referral pain in the shoulders so where does pain come from which is not near to the gb? Of course I know that nerves go all over the place and come out of/go into the spine - which is why pinched nerves can cause pain in a completely different area.
I know about the thing with oily or fatty foods. When I said I bought some of my fav food for after surgery, I meant stuff like Cookie Dough, cold Cappucino.. Stuff like that is what I love here and there. Have not been able to take anything for so long now. My boyfriend will do me some bolognese with spaghetti a few days after I am home yummy I cannot wait for it!!!!!!! Its like I forgot the taste of food really, all I eat is potatoes and 1 bread in the morning. What I also miss a lot, I think the most, is BUNS. Fresh buns. I love them. Used to take them almost everyday. Those fresh buns give me immediate gallbladder pain.
What do you mean the wrong foods? I eat normal stuff like everyone else. Here in germany, fresh buns are breakfast. Theres nothing wrong with eating maybe 3 fresh buns within a week.I am not someone who eats junk food much...like mc donalds and so on. I love potatoes, rice, salads, chicken etc. So no, I am eating just fine.

Don't worry about it. By the time I had surgery I was down to eating raw carrot sticks and THAT was bringing on attacks.
Some of us just get gallstones, no matter what we do. Thank god we live in the modern age where it can be fixed very easy.
