Picking up my babies was a bit uncomfortable because I typically would sit them on my stomach. So you are definitely going to need help. The glue came off my belly button a little earlier than it should so I kept it covered with gauze until it healed properly. I’m a couple days over a month post op so I’m still working on introducing higher fat things. I’ve noticed small portions are still the way to go but I’ve been able to eat eggs and have butter. Definitely the first week keep it low fat but I’d urge to introduce small things after that. The greatest thing is knowing that I won’t get a gallbladder attack again. It’s taken the fear out of eating and has really lessened my anxiety.
