Gallbladder Removed And I Still Can't Eat Most Foods! Posted: 05-05-06 14:46pm
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!!!!

I have had my gallbladder out over 20
years and their are still a lot of things
I cannot eat. Even though you just had
your gallbladder out , I caannot believe,
they would be bringing you stuff like that
at 1st, they started me off on liguid diet
aand went from there as tolerated but like
I say. Mine was done quite a long time
ago! I am no Dr., you might be having
other problems too, I still use gaviscon
and tumse-x.
There are a lot of times that they cannot
give you extra meds in the hospital
without a drs order. How is your paain
level now as it does take time to get over
surgery but if your pain levelis still
real high, I would call the drs office and
let them know, also, if you take pain
meds, I have learned to eat something with
them even if it is a couple of soda
crackers as they can hurt my stomach also
and they can also plug you up.
Good luck too you!
