I was surprised to see the dish served at the table yesterday – a deep-fried fatty pork with skin.
When I sat on the chair, I was saying to myself, “Am I going to eat this fried pork with fats and skin?” So, I looked at the other dish, a more favorable one – fish. But since it’s already 4 months after my lap chole procedure, 2 months after I got hospitalized and was supposedly scheduled for an ERCP procedure, I thought that it would be another food to test.
The pork meat was smaller than the fats on all cuts. As I took a bite on the fried pork, I felt the fats and the oil but with well cooked meat and crunchy skin. And it was great to eat back the food that I longed for. I have been fasting for months on delicious yet to be avoided foods because I no longer have a gallbladder. But yesterday, I took another test, another step of eating back normally – eating a to be avoided food.
Few hours later, I did not feel any upset stomach nor pain nor disturbing gas. And more hours later, there was no discomfort. I went to bed and woke the next day with a-ok feeling.

I know the gallbladder ordeal can be excruciating until it is removed & I’ve heard you need to stay away from certain foods. I am happy to know that you were able to eat the pork w/o the pain and discomfort that you apparently suffered before. I hope you will continue to be pain free and I hope others with the same problem will get the same relief you enjoy now.
Friends 4 Life!

Fried fatty pork is probably best avoided by everyone. Pork in general just isn’t very healthy for you, then to combine it with frying in oil doesn’t help things. But I know that it can still be tasty…

Eating fatty foods is not recommended for persons without gallbladder. Much more to those who had recently underwent a lap chole (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) surgery.
