Guest guest Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 well had surgery on Friday and came back home Sunday...turns out it really was for the best to do it now and not wait until after the baby was born... the polyps were bigger just from the last u/s...and it was very inflamed almost infected they tell me...and something else but i forget the medical term for it.. this has been a hard week though..think if i were not pg. recovery would be faster/easier... i am trying hard to eat right but to be honest i have no appetite at all now and sometimes the pain feels as bad as the attacks did!!.. i know it takes a little while but i guess i thought by now i would not be so sore!!... anyway again thank you for all of your help lil > > Lil; > > Once the gallbladder is removed the best type of diet you can do is one void of all processed foods, hydrogenated oils and saturated animal fats. It should have a stronger leaning towards the omega 3 fats for the benefit that those chains of acids provide as a balance to the omega 6 chains and the iecosanoids that they produce. > http://dietary-supplements.info.nih.gov/eicosanoids/ > > You should also eat more often throughout the day so that the liver and intestines are not burdened all at once with a large meal of proteins and fats ( I'm thinking of the essential type here ). This should help you to avoid some of the other unpleasantries of not having a gallbladder, such as diarrhea, or incomplete digestion of foods, which should start with the thorough chewing of it. It may make you the last from the table as others wait for you to finish eating but the benefit of chewing food thoroughly can't be expressed enough. > > I'm sorry that you're going to have to deal with a surgery such as the removal of the gallbladder but it simply can't be helped in some cases because of the way bodies vary in getting diseased, and how they heal from disease. There is just too much power in the hereditary factor ( although there is some new thoughts on that too - see link ) along with other factors having precursored the need. Some of us just have to accept that fact and move on with living life as best we can. I wish you the best and am hoping your surgery and recuperation time go well for you. > http://ca.news./021110/6/q5yt.html > > Dale > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
