Okay, the nurse said that lettuce induces the liver to produce bile, and that with the gallbladder full of stones, there is no place for the bile to go, and that is why I have abdominal pain and nausea. She also suggested that apple juice is a good thing to drink.
You are right about the fatty foods, but I am still LC’ing, I am just eating more chicken and fish, less red meat. In addition, I dusted off my George Foreman Grill and am grilling my meat now. I miss my salads though. I found that cucumbers make me gassy though. Not a good thing in an office environment.
I do not know if I could drink a quart of apple juice a day for 2 weeks though. Bleah!! I am not a big juice drinker. However, I am trying to drink a glass every morning.
I am planning to have the surgery. In fact, I go back to the Dr. on the 12th and will probably schedule it then. I am not looking forward to it, but I have to do what I have to do for my health. They said I would only miss one or two days of work, so I am planning to schedule it for a Thursday, that way I have the weekend as well.
Apparently, I didn’t have enough stress in my life planning a wedding, moving, and finishing my college course. I really needed one more thing thrown in there!! ACK!!!!!!!
