back on my feet

so i went to my post-op check up yesterday and the doc said everything looks good, but don't do any heavy lifting for another 2 weeks or so. he also said one of my gall stones was 1.5 inches big (around? i dunno) and that there's no way it wasn't there in december and that in the december ultrasound they probably just didn't realize that it actually was indeed a gall stone. he's pretty sure that december was the same thing and that it was definitely good to get my gall bladder out. i'm just glad i can bend over and stand up straight again.

the only digestive differences i've noticed is that sometimes it takes longer to digest food and thus i feel fuller longer. i guess this makes sense since i don't have the power punch of the gall bladder anymore to help the digestion. i've been bad and kind of eating whatever and it hasn't really affected me so it looks like i'm doing good on the 'what can you eat?' front.
