I went back to work after 2 weeks. I possibly could have gone back sooner but I would have been pushing it. You'll be very sore for the first 3/4 days but I came off painkillers after that.
I started eating properly about 2 days following surgery. Pretty normal things really. Just go with what your body it craving. Before that I just didn't have an apettite.
Life will be so much better after. Endure the few weeks of discomfort and start your life again!
Good luck

How long recovery period depends on whether they manage to do this with keyhole surgery or if you have to have the bigger operation .
As regards work it also depends what work you do as you are not allowed to lift.
If keyhole recovery time they say is 3 weeks.
If the bigger op it is 6 weeks.
Be aware that before you are put to sleep you have to sign a form to say if they cannot get gallbladder out as keyhole surgery they can carry on and do bigger op. 95 per cent have keyhole surgery. i did.
Regarding eating everyone is so different so you will have to experiment with it. I had my gallbladder out at the end of April and still get stomach cramps if I eat hard cheese or pork Anything fatty really.
Hope this helps.
Good luck with the op.
Take care and keep in touch.
Praying for you
Love Sarah xx
