    Well. I might be getting my gall bladder out, guys. I have an Ultrasound on Tuesday. They think there might be stones in it. And I can't eat fat or oil until I get it out. It sucks. I'm living off of Non-fat Cottage cheese and milk, which I don't mind too much because I love milk. But I can't eat Caesar Salad because it has fat in it. No bread, pasta, pizza, Burgers, No Meat other than egg whites...ewww.

    The Function of the Gall Bladder
    Because fat cannot be dissolved in water, a special system has evolved for its digestion and its absorption through the intestinal wall. Bile is an essential factor in this, since it contains substances that allow fats to be emulsified. It also stimulates the secretion of an enzyme concerned with the breakdown of fats. Bile is secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder until needed. When fat is eaten, this stimulates the gallbladder to contract and bile flows down the cystic duct, into the common bile duct and through the ampulla of Vater into the intestine. As well as acting as a storage vessel, the gallbladder concentrates the bile within it by removing water through its wall. Thus, if the gallbladder is removed, although bile still flows into the intestine from the liver, fat digestion may be less efficient because the bile is not concentrated.

    You know the saying "You've got a lot of nerve!" ? Well, the word gall can be substituted for the word nerve. Old people say it sometimes. It's like just bad stuff in general too.

    Seriously, Darbie...Mom, is there any way I can jump start it, or something? It's already really hard for me to lose weight. I don't want to lose my bile concentration.
