Having had my gallbladder removed on the 25th April I am now feeling pretty fed up. I started to feel really well and was able to introduce foods back into my diet. I had a couple of weeks set back with a urine infection for which I was given anitbiotics and felt better but now I feel wretched. I am getting pain in the gallbladder area and in the side of my upper back. I have nausea and I have vomitted twice in the last 10 days (3 times in total since op). I can't face food and so am feeling miserable. I know I still have the hiatus hernia and Barrett's to deal with but this is making me feel very down. Am I the only one who hasn't had a full recovery? Everyone seems to say how much better they feel after the op and I am just longing for that.
Sorry to be a moaner but I just don't want food to be the enemy again.

I do feel better after the op but still have Barrett's and a hiatus hernia. I have vommitted 3 times since the op and some days I have pain, wind and feel nauseous. The good days are great. The bad days are awful. Can't win.

I fear a lot of my problems are the fact that my bowels (sorry about this) are just not working properly. I am taking fibre granules and Lactulose (on doctors instructions) but with very little effect. Anyone got a stick of dynamite. Perhaps I should watch a horror film. Nevertheless I managed to get to Sheffield for a sewing course and to see my sister so that's something good.
Hope you both get your problems sorted and any other fellow sufferers.

Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling too well. I was away for a week visiting my sister. I have the opposite problem to you ,as I tend to have to rush to the loo after almost every meal,and then for a few days there is nothing at all.I am still getting a lot of pain in my upper rib cage area,and it is happening at night now,when I am lying in bed.My sister had her gallbladder removed 20 years ago by the conventional method,and never had half the problems I have had. She and her husband eat butter,cream,curries etc,and both smoke. Her husband drinks a few glasses of wine every day,and has never had a days illness in his life.They have no children and have a very relaxing lifestyle,and I think that has a lot to do with it nowadays as well.
Nichola's Mum got good news about her bowel cancer as it hasn't spread,so no chemotherapy,but she will have a colostomy bag for life. Small price to pay. All our prayers were answered.We visited the shrine in Walsingham in Norfolk when we were down there at my sister's,and brought back some of the water for her.
I hope you feel so much better soon,Maggie,I will be thinking of you.
Take care.

Here's to pain free days and the better eating options.
