Hi all

I'm on the long waiting list for gall bladder removal. COVID has caused serious backlogs so i dont even have a date yet for surgery. ive known about my condition for about three months. i stopped eating anything over 2% fat and it seemed to reduce the attacks. However now its got worse and that doesnt seem to help anymore. im at a loss, i eat rice and veg and bread and cornflakes with skimmed milk. thats my complete diet. ive now got to the point i dont want to eat as im scared of the pain. i wont eat in the day time anymore as i dont want to get triggered at work which has happened a couple of times. i havent weighed myself but i know im losing weight as everyone tells me i look thinner. im not overweight anyway. its stressing me out so much and i have problems sleeping, this might also be the codeine use which keeps me awake and not tired... is this normal?! please share your thoughts, ive read loads of other useful threads from you amazing people xx
