New sufferer

Hello Gallstone suffers,

I've been here reading for about 15 months now. I came down with gallstone in

December of 2000. I purchased and ate about 1 kilo of cooked shrimp and a bottle

of wine. Early that next morning I woke up with the worst pain I have ever felt.

So I went to the emergency room and laid on the table moaning for hours until

they discovered through imaging that I had Gall stones.

So they released me later the next day saying I would need an operation. Well, I

didn't want to hear that so I decide to modify my diet. For the next two months

things were fine. I left all seafood alone and anything else that had a lot of

cholesterol in it.

Then in February 2001, I went and purchased some Kentucky fried chicken. I ate

about six or seven pieces of that and BAM! I was back in the emergency room

moaning and groaning.

So after that experience , I watched even more carefully until last Thursday

when I went and purchased 1.5 pounds of cooked shrimp.

I thought well if Ionly ate a dozen instead of a hundred I should be ok. Well

not so later that evening around 1800, the pain started. This time I have not

gone to the hospital as the pain is about a five on a scale of ten. It is still

very uncomfortable.

I sat here watching Tennis and made a huge bowl of spinach, lettuce, carrots,

green peepers, radishes, onion, broccoli,cauliflower,Egg whites, and other

stuff. Then just before I took the first bites something told me to call the

hospital to see if it would be OK toeat all that while my bladder is inflamed.

To my horror, they said definitely not to eat that; as it would make things

worse. So I'm very happy that I decided to call first. So now I'm asking the

list what food are ok to eat while I am having the pain and a few days

afterwards?

Peace
