Hello all,
I am a 21 year old nursing student from
syracuse, ny and
i have been rummaging through these forums
since before I had my gallbladder removed
2wks ago. Now that it is out I have some
questions. First of all, i've read many
of your posts saying to avoid fatty foods
etc etc...I have noticed I cannot eat what
I used to, portion wise or food wise,
without feeling like crap the following
day. I will feel like I am constipated
and bloated the day following a large
meal, or a meal I may have normally eaten
before my surgery. I don't have a lot of
time or money to make to keep up these
trials on what I can and can't eat. I
guess i'm wondering what I can expect with
my bowels and what I can expect to eat if
I want to feel normal.
My other concern is...I feel my belly is a
bit larger than before. I am not a
skinny girl, but it's really annoying to
me to feel rounder around the middle,
especially since I have lost close to
10lbs since the surgery. This is another
thing i'm semi-relating to the bloating
feeling and what I am eating; i'm
wondering if my belly seems bigger because
of the bloating, or if it really is
fatter.
If anyone can relate or has any words of
wisdom, please, leave me a post.
Thanks a lot!
Krista
