didn't have those surgeries but had others. Sometimes I was sick for a few days from being put under..and the pain meds they gave me. Other times...I seemed fine after I got up.

I usually stick to eating crackers, coke-cola (for some reason only coke works to settle my stomach) and maybe some other light stuff. If you don't get better by all means contact the doc just to make sure its not infection. Good luck

Since you had your gallbladder out you must eat NO FAT. And nothing spicey. So plain chicken, turkey, bread, yogurt, etc. Stick to that for 4 weeks and then slowly start back on fat. It will help.
