Who's had their gall bladder out?

Yea thats what I'm really afraid of. I live off of red meat. Its by far my favorite food and comprises most of my diet. It's really frustrating to me, I'm only 22 and your telling me I cant eat a steak for the rest of my life with out the Hersey squirts. WTF. Is there anything you can do for your diet to allow you to eat those type of foods again after this? Like taking a pill before you eat or something?

Steak Never Bothers Me, Brother. Even If I Eat Pizza, Now, I'm Usually OK. Just Remember After You Have The Surgery, You Have A "2 Minute Warning"!

It's Still 100% Better Than Not Having The Surgery. Believe Me, You Will Risk Serious Complications If You Wait & The GB "Ruptures".

My dad had his gall bladder removed 25 years ago, and he never stopped eating steaks. My doctor only told me to watch out with the fat, but said steaks aren't a problem, so don't worry.

Yes. You have to start food combining and having more fiber with your diet in general. Carbs and meat protein should never be in the same meal. Things like rice and chicken and meat and potatoes will be a thing of the past, but you can still eat both. Keep meat portions to a palm size.

You should also be drinking more water. One ounce of water per pound of body weight everyday.

had mine out this year also,their is a test they can give you the result that determines whether your gaul bladder works is called a,retraction fraction,they inject the fats that cause flairups and monitor the bladder,before they had this chemical ,they would make you eat a greasy cheeseburger and fries, I believe a normal reading on the fraction is anything above 30,mine was a 6 ,2 weeks later had the surgery laproscopic,not to bad they blow your stomach up with air,to seperate all the organs i guess,stay away from any fiber foods after the surgery,I have been diagnosed with IBS so the surgery didnt do that much for me,running to the bathroom after meals is a way of life for me,especially anything with cream like alfredo sauce,,,good luck
