i can eat pretty much anything i like now (curries, chilli etc) but i find if i eat too much fatty crap, i get heartburn really badly. so i just adapted things. i rarely eat takeaway (cos that was a bad trigger) - if i do, i go a less fatty option. i know if i have pastry (pie or somethign) i will have issues later. but as far as everyday food goes, i'm fine - was ok within about 3 months i think
I had mine removed when i was 29 weeks pregnant - and have had no problems since and find i can eat what ever i want with no problems!! Has been great!
I had mine removed in March this year, I think I was really careful for about 3 weeks then decided to push it to see if I could eat my beloved chocolate!!!
No probs at all!!! I'm back eating as I was before (not too bad, but still eating choc and the occasional take-away).
I think it affects everyone differently. Just go slowly and try different things in moderation to see how your body reacts.
well i had mine done on monday and was up and about on tuesday still couldnt lift anything heavy for a good 2 weeks. it is a mojour surgery just because the hole is only 2cm long doesnt mean anything they are doing a lot of work inside.
i found i was uncomfortable for about 2 weeks but i think this was also exaserbated by having my color bone pinned and plated on teh friday post my gallblader removal and having crashed my motorbike 3 weeks prior lol..
on average though from a nursing persepctive you are home the next day or 2 days post they usually want you to have kept a meal down adn had a bowel motion.
Patients are not normally put on a modified diet post cholisectomy. Re: recovery - it is usually an overnight stay and you should expect to be a little tender for 1 or 2 days with the most irritating point being the incision site near the bra line. I was fine after about a week.
