I wasn't able to take painkillers though, so I'm sure you'll have a much better experience than me! Let me know if you have any questions because I know exactly what you're going through!
Also, I don't mean to scare you, but I'm still dealing with Post-cholecystectomy syndrome. It's been taking me a long time to get used to digesting food and I still have a lot of trouble (tons of nausea). If you're still having trouble a month or so after surgery, DO NOT let doctors ignore you. A lot of doctors don't even believe in PCS, but my sister and I both had it after we got ours out. I think it's somewhat rare, and I've talked to many others who haven't had any issues and feel 100% better within a few weeks! I'm sure you'll recover just fine.

Thanks for the info, I was actually warned about this by the gallbaladder specalist I saw. I'm on a low fat diet for the next month. So hopefully that helps!

No clue how I will entertain myself when I get home.... still don't have power and we are running the generator for the fridge and a few lights, should be interesting!

Thank you all for your continued healing vibes, they are working great!

Glad the surgery went well. Hope you feel better soon. At least they put you on the maternity ward, where you can see the newborns. When I had my gall bladder removed, they put me on the Geriatric floor

I was only 19!!!!!

Lucky! My doctor said I could eat anything I wanted after a couple weeks... obviously, that didn't work out. If my sister hadn't gone through the same situation as me a year earlier, I probably would have lost my mind. I had a pretty extreme case, though. I could't eat anything except for crackers and Ensure for about a month, and 3 months after that weren't much better. I still can't eat really greasy foods, but that's not really a bad thing!

I don't even crave them. Unfortunately my sweet tooth came back pretty fast, and I've gained 15 of the 30 pounds I lost from being sick back!

I could stand losing some weight because of this! Sorry yours came back though. I'm also on WW so that should help me with being good and low fat after surgery
