Post-surgery tip. (lemmy.world)

If you get your gallbladder removed and your surgeon says it could cause diarrhea for a while but your discharge papers say take stool softener because of the pain medication? Listen to the surgeon.

It hasn't been a fun couple of days.

Thank you for reading my very short rant. Back to the bathroom!

Sorry, you accidentally replied to yourself instead of me, so I only just saw this.

Ahhh, oops!

That's good that there's some promising improvements. Hopefully you keep improving!

My wife would also dry heave constantly, and it would go into overdrive when she tried to eat something. At first she could only eat bananas, but then she ate too many and now she still dry heaves when eating bananas, even though she's fully better. I think it's a mental thing for her for bananas. I think she associates bananas with that feeling.

Well at least she's mostly better! I'd probably dry heave eating bananas too, but then I hate bananas. Anyway, glad to hear she's doing better and I'm glad I'm starting to do better. Hope you had a good holiday!
