I was supposed to have my gall bladder out last thursday but the sunday before I doubled over in pain. the stones and sludge blocked my bile duct. so I was admiitted to hospital. Put on IV cipro and flagyll (was taking oral biaxin and flagyll) Monday they did a scope to unclogg the bile duct. I then had the laproscroic surgery wednesday. (gall bladder so full of stones that surgeon had to increase incision size to get it out) and came home from hospital on thursday. back on oral antibiotics. while in hospital i was only allowed to have broth and jello on tuesday.

Thought i'd be feeling bettre by now.
very frustrated.
queasy, mild diarrhea, sleeplessness, fatigue.
surgeon said to avoid fat but Today I decided to go very strict with the BRAT diet to see if that will help. Am back on probiotics.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
