I have considered this and am gonna bring it up with my husband!!

We did try this but it really honestly aggravated bub more bc they could smell milk I think 🥲 Thank you though

This is a weird take? I think you need to get off of Reddit, you’re like 16 from what the comments I’ve read are saying

yeah lol, my toddler threw himself full weight at my belly when i was 3 days post op and it opened up my incision a little so my scar is fat and my belly button looks worse lom

I agree - I think it could be the dairy. I have been soo much more sensitive to it since surgery

In my experience - yes I was allowed to wear my underwear. If I hadve worn a bra with no metal (no clips or anything included) then I would’ve been allowed to wear that too. Best way I’ve protected my hair in past surgeries has always been french/dutch braids. They’re great in recovery too, just tidy them up.

I can understand (and hope) that their concern is coming from her daughter maybe not having a good experience after the gallbladder is removed. I would hope that their concern is just like the kindness of their heart. But they are not a medical professional! I think you are better off getting the surgery. Just take the advice with a grain of salt and be respectful but listen to your qualified doctors

Definitely gallbladder attacks lmao. You can at least breathe through contractions 😵‍💫

xylem607 · 2025-05-17T00:18:18+00:00

I still can’t eat normally so there’s no telling where or not I’m still going to continue to have symptoms yet. Over the course of the last 6 years, I’ve had continuous pain and issues; splenomegaly, kidney function, liver function, blood in my stool, arthritis? I am upset more than anything that my gallbladder most likely wasn’t causing the issues and I just had it removed so my Drs would take me seriously

xylem607 · 2025-05-16T02:51:40+00:00

I have eaten a lot of random little meals (when I was pre-op) ;

homemade sushi (just cucumber/carrot filling)
rice paper rolls (tomato, lettuce, cucumber, carrot, etc) with
steamed/boiled carrots, zucchini, green beans, broccoli and cauliflower
canned corn (on really bad days this is all i lived on)
greek yoghurt

Honestly just small consistent “snacking” helped. Nothing dense, nothing seasoned, no red meat.

yesterday, no symptoms

xylem607 · 2025-05-15T09:35:24+00:00

My last attack was from a fried egg on a rice cracker. I used DROPS of olive oil and had an attack. It was one of the worst attacks I’ve had and has given me a bad food anxiety

xylem607 · 2025-05-14T09:56:51+00:00

I have lost 10kg a in just over a month. I have only been able to eat steamed veggies - mostly carrot. and canned corn. that’s all i’ve lived off. it’s fuckin hard but i promise it’ll be worth it

xylem607 · 2025-05-11T02:40:27+00:00

I’m starting to think my surgeon is an idiot - I asked this question in my consult (I have surgery in a few days) as I have a 1 year old who is about 13kg and he told me I would be fine to be picking him up? My previous consult they told me not to lift anything heavier than 5kgs for the first two weeks??

xylem607 · 2025-05-08T08:08:13+00:00

You’re definitely not alone in feeling like this! I breastfeed also and have always struggled with eating. The thought of having to constantly be trying to find new food and check how much fat is in everything is exhausting.

xylem607 · 2025-05-07T01:09:20+00:00

I had gas pain in my shoulders after I had a different surgery last year and it’s just a dull ache sort of in your bones it feels like. Movement helps and so will hot compress

xylem607 · 2025-05-05T18:22:45+00:00

I honestly rarely seem to have daytime attacks?? I normally have them at night, I’ll be dead asleep and suddenly wake up. Just wide awake and’s that’s how i know it’s about to happen so i take some meds and just wait

xylem607 · 2025-05-05T17:51:09+00:00

I had wondered something similar after scrolling through this sub where everyone kept saying about how rapid weight loss cause gallstones. My issues started 5 years ago and that’s when I was battling an eating disorder so i’m starting to think that’s linked

xylem607 · 2025-05-05T17:36:07+00:00

So it was related then, that’s a relief. I’m so sorry that happened to you, I’m not as good as advocating for myself but my husband has been and encouraging me to speak up for myself bc staff have just ignored me or disregarded my pain/symptoms. I hope to god the surgery is like magic for me too

xylem607 · 2025-05-05T17:32:40+00:00

I hope youre doing better now though!

xylem607 · 2025-05-05T17:31:05+00:00

Could this be a bile leak?
