I concur with Lori. Wait until your gallbladder is removed. I had mine out back in 1986 and can remember how horrible those attacks were. With a lc lifestyle, you eat more fat. You really can't afford to eat more fat right now or you may trigger an attack. In the meantime, I would focus on eating more healthy foods. Eliminate processed foods, eat more green veggies, cut back on caffeine and soda. Those are things you can do without really going lower carb that will help you once you do start the lc way of eating.

Also, when you do start going low carb, you won't want to go as high fat as most people. When the gall bladder is removed you end up with a steady drip into the intestine, so going either high or low fat does not get processed adequately. You want to be in the medium range for fat.

Good luck with your surgery! Back when I had it done it was the "old" way and I was in the hospital for 8 days. I hear it's much smoother these days.
