Post Surgery Follow-Up - Digestive Disorders Message Board

Well, I survived my gall bladder surgery I had done last week (April 1st). My recovery went pretty good, but I was so fatigued. My first day back to work was yesterday (Monday). Although, I made a huge mistake and ate a burger, fries and a shake last night and I got such bad diarrhea. I came to the conclusion that this was probably not the best decision I made and now know I have to probably say goodbye to that kind of food. I have my post-op on Thursday. My incisions are healing quite nicely, but I have developed a rash on my right arm. Could this be related to surgery or something totally different? Otherwise, recovery is coming along nicely. Thanks.

You ate fat????? Please, don't do that for another 3 weeks. No fat. Then slowly, like one pat of butter a day, introduce it back into your diet. One tiny little duct is having to take over the function of a whole gallbladder. If you stress it now, it will never work right.

The rash is probably coincidental.
