Hi everyone,
I had my gallbladder removed last month and have felt real great. After surgery the Dr. put me on a low fat, high carb diet. No caffeine and no carbonation.
I went back for my follow up and the Dr. said I could eat anything I want as long as I was careful and my body could tolerate it. Just take it easy for the first month or so.
So, I went to Walmart and bought me a $5 pedometer that clips on my belt. When I went in for the operation I weighed 182 #'s and now am down to 168 #'s.
I feel so much better! My kneesk don't hurt, which means no more Asperacream before going to bed.
I am walking approximately 2 miles a day.
Starting Monday, I am setting a goal of 5 miles of walking per day. I will work up to it gradually.
The reason for this post is I am 66 years old, was a little overweight when all this started. Now, I am feeling great.
At first, I had a tough time with the diet but I finally resolved myself to eating healthy.
I keep my fat intake below 3 grams per meal, snack on cutie oranges and carrots, and drink green tea and coffee, decafinated, and several glasses of water a day.
Wife has gone on this diet with me and she has lost weight too.
If I can do it, so can you! I only needed the incentive of gallbladder removal. :wink2:
If you have questions, feel free to ask. I am NOT a Dr. But I have learned how to eat healthy and I will be glad to share what I do as far as diet.
Right now there a roast in the smoker for tonight.
