so you're really decided to go through with surgery? well, as far as I know from my nursing school, right after operation, a patient's not supposed to eat or drink anything. The body needs time to revive itself after the anesthesia, thus the dgestive tract isn't ready for any intake yet. Then liquids are introduced, then soft foods, until diet that is tolerated. ON a long term basis, you should stray off from fatty foods especially those with high cholesterol because they are mostly responsible for the formation of the stones.

Yes I did this process to my sister and it was effective, I do it this way, I let my sister eat 5 apples, in one day, then rested for hours before She took the first tsp.of epson salt.( You can't drink epson salt directly because it just taste like mercury, so my advise is to take a capsule, open it, take out the medicine, and replace the tsp of epsom) or you can put the epson inside a banana and swallow it. Then drink the Olive oil, 1/8 cup with Lemon. why? the apple will soften the stone, the epson will puff the stone and olive oil will allow stones to go. Rest for another hours, and do the epson thing again, You can just see how many of those green stones coming out as you eliminate or defecate.

He will be in pain. All I truly have to say. It is a very routine surgery, and in fact my mother had her Gallbladder removed last year. It is pretty much an accessory organ. It is easily removed, but like most surgeries it is painful. He will be on bed rest for a while, and I guarantee that the hospital will let you know everything you need to know for taking care of him at home. I wish him luck and make sure you let him know that it is going to be A Ok. Sincerely, Undertheoath
