As a disclaimer, I am not a doctor or medical expert and in no way am I suggesting that anyone reading this should self-diagnose or start a detox program on their own without first consulting their doctor or medical practitioner.
The following is meant for information purposes only and is not meant to diagnose or recommend treatment to anyone. You should use caution when embarking upon any diet change, cleansing or detoxification program and you do so at your own risk.
With that said, the following is just my personal experience and recommendations of others who have dealt with the subject of detox and body cleansing. As a matter of fact, many thousands and perhaps millions of people before you have successfully rid themselves of harmful toxins and helped them improve their health through a proper detox.
The method of ridding the body of toxins and waste is known as a detox or detoxification. There are many different kinds of detox programs and some of them target specific organs such as the liver or the gall bladder.
A cleansing body detox is a great way to feel better and more rejuvenated. You can feel more energy, lose weight and cleanse the tissues and organs as well as give your digestive system a cleansing.
One of the most well known detoxing methods is the master cleanse otherwise known as the lemonade diet. It is basically a 10 day fasting during which you drink only fresh water with lemon juice, a small amount of pure maple syrup and a dash of cayenne pepper.
Many people have enjoyed the benefits of such a cleanse and you can too, provided you make sure you have checked with your physician or doctor to see if you have any precautions in doing so.
The health benefits are tremendous as you can rid the body of accumulated waste from the tissues and organs as well as the blood stream. We are bombarding our bodies with sugar, fats, alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and other harmful chemicals and products. Even if we do not drink alcohol or smoke, we are eating foods which might be de-natured or filled with fats and sugars and need to go on a fasting diet or a cleansing diet to get rid of some of these destructive elements.
Then there is the traditional juice fasting which has been done by many thousands of people to help cleanse and rejuvenate the body. Fresh vegetables and fruits are juiced in a juicer which separates the juice from the pulp and cellulose. A typical juice might be made from greens such as kale, spinach and parsley and a hand full of sprouts along with maybe a lemon and some ginger for punch. The lemon makes the juice even healthier and the ginger is anti viral and has healing properties as well.
But aside from maybe adding an apple or pear to a vegetable juice, keep the fruits and vegetables separate when making juices. Avoid the citrus juices and fruits.
A water fast is just fasting with only water being drunk. This allows for a real rest of the digestive system allowing for more toxins to be eliminated.
If you can, make sure to take a sauna, as a good sweat will help cleanse the skin and pores as well as get those toxins out of the body.
Some homeopathic and naturopathic physicians recommend detox kits with drops that you can take that help cleanse and eliminate toxins. Even women can notice that their cellulite starts to disappear when they clean out the toxic materials from their body systems.

My surgery went off without a hitch. The incisions are tiny because they use laparoscopic surgery, I had my surgery on a Monday night as an emergency, I was home the next day and by Thursday I was able to go back to school. There is more long term muscle bruising and healing that takes place over several weeks but no TERRIBLE pain at all. It was very manageable.
It is possible that while your body is adjusting to the new deal with your liver and bile (now that you have no gallbladder), you can get diarrhea from eating foods high in fat, because it is not processed as easily. But your body eventually adjusts to the missing organ and you go back to normal.
I had mine out three years ago. If you have the "bandaid" surgery, it is an easy in and out. I spent 2 nites in the hospital, one the night before surgery as I came into the emergency room with pain and one the night after surgery. I easily went home the day after surgery. I had little to no pain but felt slightly uncomfortable, mostly just walked slowly for about a week.
And, sorry to report, the diarrhea stories are mostly true. I think it varies from person to person, but plan to be near a bathroom within 10-20 mins after you have eaten for awhile.
Good luck, the surgery isn’t a big deal.
I had the surgery in 2000. Less than 24 hours after the surgery, I was walking around. The hospital released me that day. I wound up back in the hospital later that night as I was not well. Got sick to the point of vomiting and felt like I was going to pass out. Spent another night in the hospital hooked up to iv’s. After that I was released and then was ok. It took about 2 weeks til I was completely back to 100%. I was able to go back to work. The only thing that made it hard was that I had a nearly 3 year old and a 1 1/2 year old at the time. And that the hospital gave me a penicillin derivitive when I am allergic to penicillin.
It wasn’t a bad experience. I only had one stone. And I didn’t have explosive diarrhea.
I just had laparoscopic (sp) surgery to remove my gall bladder just five days ago and under the circumstances I am feeling quite well. The diarrhea is very true. I had an emergency surgery and within two hours after being released from recovery (probably about three or four hours post surgery), I was getting up and walking to the bathroom on my own. A nurse had to help with sitting up, but by that evening I was even doing that on my own and able to go on short walks. I was released from the hospital the afternoon after the surgery.
Don’t overdo it. Prepare to spend LOTS of time in bed. I think it helped me that before and after the surgery I laid constantly in an angle (about 135 degrees). This way I didn’t put too much of a strain on my stomach. Although I am feeling much stronger, I am still laying that way and have not required any pain meds in the past few days. You should also prepare to walk around every once in a while, just start off very slowly and work your way up.
Other than the loose stools, the only thing that really bothers me is that I have been feeling insatiably hungry and I have a different taste in my mouth.
Overall, the surgery wasn’t bad. I have literally had worse experience with a tooth filling. The doctor didn’t put me on any sort of diet, but I’ve cut back on my fat intake and have been boiling my chicken to be on the safe side.
Good luck!
