post op GB removal

I had my gallbladder removed 3 days ago.  I have finally had a good BM today.  My question is how many people       have had problems taking deep breaths afterwards.  I have tried to take deep breaths several times a day to help get rid of the anesthesia, but deep breaths hurt.  Has anyone else suffered this?  Is this normal?

Thanks for the info.  I had my gallbladder removed Tuesday 11/11.  I am going to give it another couple of days.  I see where everyone is one a fat free diet, my DR didn't put me on any diet.  I haven't had any nausea or vomiting yet, but I haven't eaten much either,  Is nausea and vomiting something I am going to have to deal with from now on?

Oh yeah-it will pass though
When i had mine out 4 months ago, people said it was a breeze-they lied!
I was on my butt for a good 4 days from pain, hang in there!
