98% of gall bladder removals go fine, in-and-out procedures. I got to join the 2%.

Long story to the point: I wasn't allowed to eat for two weeks. Saline drip kept me hydrated, and that's about it. Connected to the drip, I wasn't really allowed to move either. For what it was, fact is I just didn't eat for about 14 days. Didn't feel hungry, but did watch a ridiculous number of cooking shows.

Yes, that had its special case factors. But now I know I can do without food for a prolonged period. Lost 10 pounds too.
