Test: Eating fried fatty pork

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.

  1. I ate “Lechong Baboy” after 2 days post op. Gaaahh, I can’t help it. @_@ I’m glad nothing happened. I’m now trying to go back to a low fat diet.

  2. This article is a great example of informational content I enjoy reading. It’s just the kind of original content that provokes thought in the reader.

  3. Thanks for the article, it was interesting and compelling. I found my way here through Google, I will come back another time 🙂

  4. Spot up with this write-up, I must say i feel this excellent website needs considerably more consideration. I’ll more likely be once again to learn considerably more, many thanks that info.

  5. do you need to go for ercp procedure after the operations.. what is ercp ???

    I am a person without gall bladder since end july 2011

  6. Wow that was strange. I just wrote an extremely long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyways, just wanted to say superb blog!

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

  8. 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… 🙂

  9. 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!
