I spent 2 years eating next to nothing, and not sure how I didn't become an alcoholic trying to live a normal life before my operation. All I could eat was either plain boiled rice, pickles or a banana... nothing else. The slightest amount of fat would give me 5 hours of the worse pain. When your constantly hungry, wine is a help. Not a good thing but, it just took the edge off. After my operation, everything out, gallbladder and a million stones, you can eat what you like......but! just go easy on the fats...not low fat just not way too much fat as you will trigger your bile duct to overact and then you will get the runs..... this is a smalll price to pay for a painfree life....that is my story.
