Surgery Induced Lifestyle Change
I know that I’ve basically neglected this blog for a few weeks, but it was due to a bad knee injury. My doctor ordered me not to do anything more than I had to on it, so with it went my regular blogging.
However, last week, an even bigger thing happened to me: I went to the ER with severe abdominal pain, and within a few days, had my gallbladder removed. For those that aren’t in the medical know, this means that I will have to switch to a low-fat diet for the next few months until my body can adjust itself to not having its main source of bile (the enzyme that helps break down fat). But even in the long-term, a low-fat diet is really for the better to not tax my system.
So, I’m going to be trolling around the Internet looking for some easy recipes to help me get on track. My usual food haunts–Food Network and Allfoods.com–aren’t going to be much help here because they don’t have nutritional content. Any suggestions for alternatives?
