It is surreal. I might finally be rid of the pain of gallbladder attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been quite anxious about this for a few weeks, but that is me. I overthink stuff and I think I have been that way all my life. I am at peace now about the surgery and if they are unable to do keyhole I am fine. It will be what it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been having a few of my favourite meals and pushing the limits. I have read that after surgery your diet changes to more normal foods. Less fatty foods since you don&#8217;t have the gallbladder to store bile for these fatty foods and that bile constantly drips into your stomach making it hard to digest fats. So a diet change is in order and it has been a long time coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have not always been a person who loves food, but these days I do. I enjoy different cuisines and I overeat. I have Google searched till my fingers hurt and have found that ribeyes and caffeine are not on the menu after surgery.  I will have a ribeye today and that will be it. Although they say that in a few weeks, you can return to a normal diet, I know in my heart that my diet is anything but normal. I accept that changes need to be made and maybe this is the chance to improve myself<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know a different diet won&#8217;t hurt, more lean meats and nuts and seeds. Less caffeine, more water and no bloaty soft drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My hope is a keyhole and, not open, that I get up and mobile sooner rather than later. I told Anna that I would need to go for walks and that she should expect calls if I go too far and cannot get home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So rather than food blogs I will do health blogs and heaven forbid if you like that&#8230; It could be boring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Remember to LOVE LIFE!!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I am two days out from my surgery to remove my gallbladder.
