Oh the JOYS of Pregnancy!

So this last Wed. I went to the hospital in excruciating pain. Come to find out, I have Gall Stones and will now need to have my Gall Bladder removed. However, My Dr. thinks it wise to wait till I am at least 37 weeks to even attempt to get it removed. I am 32 weeks now and I have been watching what food I eat. I have switched to fat free most everything and I am staying away from high fatty foods as well as fried food. Plus side is I lost 4 lbs. in the last week. Minus side is I can no longer eat anything that I crave. (Except Yogurt.) Also a negative is that I can have that same pain anytime I eat the wrong thing. Like tonight, I was eating some tortilla chips with the boys and all of a sudden I am doubled over in pain. This time it only lasted for an hour, thank goodness. the first time it happened the pain lasted for about 3 hours. My Dr. gave me a prescription for Lortab but I cant pick it up till tomorrow. I basically have to hope that I don't have too many more episodes in the next 5 weeks or hope that my gall bladder doesn't decide to go septic on me. That would require emergency surgery and that can put me at risk of going into pre-term labor. I think that I am going to try and be optimistic about this and do my best to keep healthy. I mean heck, whats 5 weeks on a no/low fat diet going to do but help me eat better and maybe continue to loose some weight. Wish me luck!!!
