1 Year of Life Without Gallbladder
It’s been a year now of living life with no gallbladder.
Right after the Lap Chole (Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy) operation, I thought I would become a vegetarian. But the hospital served chicken – on a low fat diet. So, meat was still part of my diet. Then, we bought a microwave oven for cooking my food. And even thought of buying a steam cooker.
Yet, after doing some tests on eating the foods to be avoided, I managed to eat some fatty foods. And even end up eating the foods that I regularly eat.
Ginabot anyone?
No gallbladder and street food – Ginabot
Ginabot is the Visayan term for Chicharon Bulaklak. It is made from pig’s intestines, salted, and deep fried to a crisp that resembles a flowery appearance – a crispy flower-shaped finger food. A finger food. A street food. My food.
This becomes part of my low-budget meal. The pungko-pungko stall, literally means eating while squatting, however has wooden bench, is found in the basketball court near IT-Park along Salinas Drive. But the one I usually go to is situated in front of the Waterfront Hotel – Cebu, I mean right beside the main road going to the hotel. There is one stall in the corner of Salinas Drive and the entrance road of Waterfront Hotel.
