I hope that you are feeling better. I too am minus a gall bladder.

While I respect Drs, I have to put my two cents in here. It is NOT high fat diets that CAUSE gall stones. If you have been a low fat yo yo dieter all your life, THIS is what caused stones in the first place. Your stones did not appear over the last couple of months of LC dieting, I am sure they have been there for years. Yes, LC dieting probably activated the problem, because the purpose of your gall bladder is to squirt out bile into the digestive sysytem to digest fat. Your gall bladder was only doing it's job, but ALAS! it is sludged up from probably years of low fat dieting. This is because when you are eating Low Fat, your gall bladder never gets called on to do it's normal function, and holds on to the bile which becomes thick and turns to stone because it is never used. Yo Yo dieters like myself went for long periods of time eating Low Fat, thinking we were doing ourselves a favor, but in my case, and now yours, I guess we were wrong. Hope this helps a little.
