R.,
I am so sorry that you are enduring gallbladder attacks. I can definitely feel for you! I was pregnant with my oldest son when I had them and I was convinced there was an alien inside of me!! hahahaha
I am glad to see that you are going down the veggie path, but it is BORING!!!! but it is better when you are dealing with the gallbladder. Once you get the attacks under control you can start putting the other things back into your diet. You can't afford to lose any more weight, so suppliment with either Ensure or some Hi-pro smoothies, but get your calories up so you don't lose any more. I'm serious on that, because if you get too weak, it's going to take longer and longer to get over an attack.
Hopefully what I am about to tell you will help get the attacks under control and even stop them until you can get the surgery. (If you don't know yet, the attacks are caused by the stones getting stuck in the duct between the gallbladder and the pancreas) Ok, here is the magic cure that will help you...and you may gag, but here ya go...
BEETS - that's it - BEETS
It doesn't matter how they are prepared or how you eat them. Just eat them. I prefer them pickled and will eat them just about any style, but they need a little help so the flavor comes through.
**My sister in law has been dealing with her gallbladder for nearly 10 years with beets and still hasn't had surgery.** I'm not saying get it removed...no way.... get that thing out at your earliest available time. Just treat it so it doesn't keep kicking you in the butt.
Good luck to you. If you need any other info or "what if's", just give me a holler!!!
