> [@Spud](#): > > What, you’re going to use your actual first hand experience to try to counter my vague recollection of my Mom saying she couldn’t eat butter anymore 40 years ago after she had her gall bladder removed. No, there are plenty of people who do have to change their diets. But I’m proof it’s not inevitable. Now for the OP’s sake, I won’t discuss all the other issues related to my gall bladder removal. ---

I survived. Had a rough night but better now. Got to eat some real food this AM. Never thought poorly scrambled eggs and dehydrated hash browns could taste so good. More later. ---

> [@Rick](#): > > I survived. Had a rough night but better now. Yeah the first 12 hours truly sucked. The pain and nausea were almost as bad as the gallbladder attacks. But once I hit that 12 hour mark I started recovering remarkably quickly. I read and heard so many horror stories about never being able to eat normally again so I took it very, very slowly when introducing food back into my diet. I can honestly say my digestion is healthier now than it’s been in years. I feel fantastic! Just take it slow and obey all the doctor’s orders about eating and movement and lifting. Good luck! ---
