Good for you! but easy with things like gravy, it will come back to haunt you!! your body workings has a cruel memory, so just go lightly, even without the problem gallbladder, you can have "attacks" if your body does not accept grease and fats.
Enjoy your company!!

Ah - feeling great!
The outside is all healed up, but the ab muscles that were cut through are still sore...
Everything else is awesome though, I can eat, drink and be merry just like the old days! Only now I've got 4 new scars, and can't do situps (yet!)

Gravy? Still a problem? Ha!
Truth be known, I had a BURGER on Thursday, and I had it with FRIES, GRAVY, and a can of Coke!
That was my first burger, first fries, and first gravy since at least last August, and, well, it was absolutely disgusting... BUT - ZERO health problems!
It was awesome, so now that I know it can be done, I don't have to eat burgers and fries any more - nice to know it won't kill me though!

here's a masterpiece for ya:
take a 1/2 bottle of palatable white wine
smack up about 12 green cardamom pods and 1.5 tbsp (roughly... y'know) of whole coriander seeds and reduce the whole thing to 1/2 volume... strain...
while the wine stuff is reducing, lightly brown two of those sweet white onions (julienned) in a few tbsp of butter...
add flesh of 2 mangoes to browned onions
add 1 litre of whipping cream and one litre of half and half to onion/mango mess (hey, i didn't say this was gonna be good for you)
add strained infused reduced wine
simmer until nice and thick
chop up 2 bunches of fresh mint
about 5 minutes before serving, fold mint into sauce
serve over pasta (penne works nice) maybe with some prawn or scallop skewers on top and grated asiago cheese... this recipe makes enough sauce for 10-12 good size portions...
recommended wine variety = gewertztraminer
this sauce is my own invention and i've probably served it up about 4 times with really good reviews...
and stay away from the gravy, that stuff is disgusting..
