A Digestively Irresponsible Afternoon at the OKC Sandwich Showdown…

Four weeks after having your gallbladder removed, medical professionals might encourage you to take it easy on the food. Phrases like “focus on fiber” or “avoid animal fats” are something a gastroenterologist might utter. But if you’re me, you say fuck it, and attend the OKC Sandwich Showdown.

For the record, I have had no issues since surgery, and I still have an appointment on the books with my doctor for you nervous nellies who think I’m going to die. I’m fine, and I recommend really kicking the tires on your post-surgical body while you’re still under a specialist’s care so you can get the help you need after hitting that insurance deductible. I also recommend not taking any medical advice from bloggers.
