Not so bad thanks Happy.
Having a cholesterol problem I do watch my fat intake although as I'm on tabs probably not as much as I should, I rely on the tabs more than I should. I have been extra careful now that I know fats set off gall upsets so I have given up cheese except for very small portions as I have with other dairy products and so far that has been enough to keep the immediate pain at bay.
I'm going to get a few meals in the freezer over the next week or so, so that I don't have to cook when I come home.
I'm hoping now I just stay well so that the op can go forward.
