Hello, I had my gallbladder removed 4/12/06. The first 2 days in the hospital were the pits. I was in so much pain (rated 10) was givin morphine every 2 hours with little relief. The nurse kept telling me it was gas, but never once asked if I wanted maloxx, when I told my sister about my pain she said to ask the nurse for some maloxx, within 1/2 an hour or so my pain level droped from a 10 to 6. Now dont you think the nurse or doctor should have told me that taking some sort of gas reliever would help. After all they deal with this on a daily basis. This was my first surgery so I didnt know what to expect. The morning after my surgery, to my shock! I was brought eggs and bacon!! I couldnt believe it. I told them that I could not eat that, it will make me sick. The nurse took it away and brought me cream of wheat. Dont you think they should know that I can no longer eat that kind of stuff. I have been living on brown rice made w/ chicken broth. I dont seem to have a problem with the broth.(its not fat free) oatmeal w/ honey natural juices ,tea,steamed veggies, fresh fruit, things that are very easy to digest.I ate sushie the the day with out a problem.It had four slivers of avocado. I am able to eat rolled dates which totally confuses me because I know they are full of fat. I am thankfull for that, they can be my candy. I also eat a lot of potatoes (red ,sweet all kinds) yesterday I baked a cake for my sons b-day and I ate about 5 bites and in about 1 hour my stomach started to bubble, I had to run to the bathroom, for about three hours I was in so much pain, I had to take two codiene I was up till 1 am, tossing and turning. So now I know how it feels to eat the wrong stuff. I wont be eating anything I know I shouldnt anymore it is so not worth the pain!!!!
