The road to recovery has not been easy! I am feeling a little better, but am stuck on what to eat. I have slowly been testing food to see how my stomach reacts to it. This is horrible. I used to love food, and was passionate about it. As of last week I don't have an appetite and am having a hard to eating. Eating is a chore to me and nothing sounds good. In order to maintain some type of energy I have to force myself to eat. One of the thing I have discovered that eating bacon causes pain and nausea for me now.
I have been reading many article on some websites about the effects of having a gallbladder removed. Some of the things have really scared me. I am hopeful that this is just a phase, and soon I will be able to eat some food that I really do like. I am sick and tired of soups, especially since I have been told by my doctor that Tomato soup cannot be part of my diet. I love tomato soup, so this really sucks! It would of been helpful to get a list of things I could and couldn't eat. Many of the articles didn't really help my search for things I can eat.
It has almost been a week since I have been home from the hospital and have stayed out. My husband has really been there for me with all my mood swings, crying, and instabilities. It is amazing how much he has been there for me. I am so grateful for his sense of humor! It has helped me keep from down spiraling into depression.
Thanks for all the love and support. Many of you guys came to visit, and that truly lifted my spirits! I love all the phone calls and get well wishes. Muah to all of you!!!!
In random news, I am 3-0 in our family Fantasy Football League. Mike is a little upset when I beat him. Its all good, go team Bowerbank. LOL! Hopefully I can catch up to Papa BBank, but there is a big chance he will take me down.

I'm so sorry you're going through all this. my dad had his gallblader removed and he continues to struggle with what he can/can't have. On top of it all, he's now allergic to dairy so he cut that from his diet. The Dr. has been very strict about meats he can eat and now he's pretty much on fruits and veggies. I hope your body will adjust soon. :)
I was waiting to hear an update !! glad your at least feeling a little better ;)
