Be very very careful about what you eat. I can't recall at the moment what your eating situation is like. French fries and other fried foods are Right Out. Probably dairy fats are too (if they aren't out for other reasons). Anything that's heavy on oils that triggers the bile reflex from the gall bladder will antagonize your gall bladder something fierce.
Also, since you have ongoing pain, watch your skin color (and white-of-the-eye color, and underside of your tongue) for jaundice yellowing, which could indicate that a stone is blocking things in a chronic way. (Also, mad ongoing skin itching is an indication that bile salts are backing up into the tissues, another blockage hint.)
Best of luck! I hope you have fun, despite the trick gall bladder.
