Someone asked me if I was the guy whose gallbladder was in his hand.

How would the cats get rid of the bile to prepare a prey item for food? The liver is one of the best items to use for gravy--my family uses our roasted Turkey's liver as a gravy base every year and to have to throw it out cause someone fucked up while on kitchen duty would suck.

Not all animals will actually have gallbladders, but removing one from the liver is as easy as just chopping it off when you get to the processing part. It'll be down on the bottom of the liver, usually pear-shaped, and a dark greenish color. Sorreltail, a sapient cat with her great sense of smell, could tell it apart from the surrounding meat with her eyes closed.

I do have to stress, though, you CAN eat bile. You don't have to have the cats toss that, that is a thing they can eat. Again it's not nail polish remover like the Erins think it is. It's bitter, but it's used in human food. You just balance out the bitterness with spice and sweetness.

This is papaitan, from the Philippines, made with tripe and bile,

Bile is also said to have anti-inflammatory effects and be a generally healthy food, too. I can see ShadowClan in particular really liking to cook with this, especially for a sick cat. They like bitter and spicy tastes a lot more than other Clans. Their version of chicken noodle soup.

Also; a lot of animals do not have gallbladders. Here's a short list of common prey animals and their gallbladder status;

Rabbits = No

Rats = No

Mouse = Yes

Shrew = Yes

Deer = No

Pigeon = No

Quail = Yes

Carp = Yes BUT DO NOT EAT THESE CARP GALL BLADDERS CAUSE FOOD POISONING. ALL species, everywhere. This includes goldfish. Your cat will live if they swallow a goldfish or eat a gallbladder once or twice, but it will make them sick. Process this fish before a Clan cat eats it.

(Side note: It's actually kind of funny how carp keeps coming up as The "Fuck You" Animal in all of these. They're full of seizure-causing anti-nutrients, their gallbladders are poison, what am I going to find next?)

The gallbladder in fish is really easy to find btw, they're usually massive, round, and dark green. If you gut fish regularly it's like... right in the "chest." Also you can poke it open and soak little paper squares in it and then they spin around in water, it's very cool

Bile is for the breakdown of fats, and a gallbladder is for the storage and concentration of bile. Generally, herbivores are more likely to lack gallbladders, because their liver just dumps the weak bile they have directly into their intestines. The mystery of why rats don't have gallbladders has actually vexxed scientists for like 100 years, btw.

Some herbivores (deer especially) have a very tiny "pouch" for bile called a diverticulum. But unlike the gallbladder, it doesn't concentrate it, just stores a little extra. Some hunters will nick this and think they tore open a gallbladder, but they did not.

Losing Weight Due To A Disability is not a Good Thing

My gallbladder has been not working for over a month now.

I was almost 290lbs at the start of this, but my weight is not the reason for my disabilities. I have lost almost 20lbs... and my family is acting like its some sort of miracle that I am finally losing weight after years of steadily gaining.

Me losing 20lbs because I am starving from not being able to eat most foods is not the same as losing 20lbs because I started eating better and exercised.

Okay, update time!

On the night of the 24th into the early morning of the 25th I was in horrendous pain I woke up my love and we drove to the ER

Well, I no longer have a gallbladder. They had to take out my gallbladder! I was shocked! I did not expect that to be the outcome! But it was and so now i am in recovery at home.. this is so painful! Wow! I have never had surgery before.

Please think good thoughts for me!

I think it's funny how many body parts have a "make rocks" malfunction.

#lets see #tear ducts #tonsils #salivary glands #sweat glands #gallbladder #kidneys #bladder #veins apparently #the body just gets some stuff that it doesnt know what to do with and goes 'shit guess ill make rocks'

Most of you haven't ever experienced a chronic, multifaceted, life threatening, incurable illness and it shows.

Student 1: The liver is the best organ of the body.

Student 2: I’ll defend the gallbladder until I lose mine.

#when the likehood of losing your gallbladder could be around ~20% bc you are a chilean with access to healthcare #medicine #med school #medblr #liver #gallbladder #gallstones

Everyone: After you have your gallbladder removed, you won’t feel like eating for days

Me, hours after waking up from anesthesia

I swear I’m still working on my fic but as I’ve said, my gallbladder pain comes and goes and I’m exhausted all the time.

My consultation is Monday and that doesn’t even mean they’ll actually take the damn thing out. I live in America and apparently this will be an ELECTIVE surgery.

A gallbladder with gallstones that are so painful you pass out and throw up is ELECTIVE in America.

Let that sink in.

Anyway, I’m actually really happy with how chapter two is coming along so I’m hoping to post it in the next few days before my appointment.

Chapter one had tons of interest though so that was pretty cool for a first fic.

Saw a surgeon today so apparently I'm going to have to have my gallbladder out. Really scared about that. I've long been cmforted by the fact that I've never had anything major medical done to me or surgeries but this year alone makes two. 🤦‍♀️ And apparently they're having me come in on Friday morning. So that's... Soon. 🥺

The most insane thing I encounter on the reg is people joining the gallbladder subreddit I'm a part of and asking for advice on how to keep their gallbladder because they are entirely certain they can fix it and their gallbladder will heal if they only eat right and exercise. It's not even for $$$ reasons that they're avoiding it, they're avoiding it because They Know They Can Fix It.

I've got bad news about what organs can and cannot regenerate/fix themselves in your body chief

Welp, I did the thing haha!

Two camp spots, 4 days of camping at hood river, we returned home yesterday.

WOW! And we got to try out all our new family camping equipment for the first time!

This was our most laid back camping experience ever since I had just had surgery a week before and had my Gallbladder removed. Everything went so well thanks to my love doing all the heavy lifting and providing us with the most comfortable set up ever!

I am BLESSED
