Still bloated after gallbladder removal?

Hi Laurajean, i took almost 2 months to get back my appetite. Before tht, i really no appetite to eat n my weight loss fast. Take some time. Dont worry.

I had all same symptoms. Amitriptyline helped some it brought back my appetite. They use it for slot of different things.., if u read on it. But for stomachs like ours it is suppose to restart/ jumpstart ur digestive system. My appetite is a lot bigger but I still get some bloat I'm trying probiotics this time 4 weeks straight with probiotics is when they say u should see some difference n continue to take them. I am also on amitiza for IBS. If ur constipated it will clean u out definitely.

Today has been a good day , I'm

Scared to get my hopes to high though , but maybe tomorrow will be a better day for all ! Fingers crossed

Hi Laura! I'm really glad to hear today has been a good day for you . Actually no, I'm not all better haha. Still having the same symptoms. Bloated/full feeling, some nausea at times. Mostly after I eat I feel soooo stuffed and get nauseous. Does this happen to you as well or is it a bit different? I don't feel sad or anything it's just this makes it difficult for me to eat a correct amount and I can't seem to gain weight because of it!! I get costipated sometimes too or have loose stools.

Forgot to mention I have this strange dull "pain" on my right side of the belly button area when I press on it. Maybe i developed a hernia and this is the cause? I'm going to schedule a ultrasound to see if anything is in there. Hopefully yes because this will solve my problems if the doctors find something you know?

How many times a day do you try to eat and how many hours apart?

Today has been a so so day. Not feeling as well as i had hoped for. Nausea, acid feeling . Most foods smell weird to me . It's hard to find anything to eat that I enjoy. I don't look forward to eating at all anymore . I just want normalcy, and I wonder if it exists anymore. I hope you and anyone reading this has a better today and tomorrow 🙏😇

I try different things , cereal at 630 am. By 9 I have acid and metal taste sometimes . So I find a small

Snack . And a few sips of Diet Coke or water . I've started chewing gum again . Seems like it helps keep the acid down . I had a lady at work today tell me it takes bout a year for your body to adjust . I don't feel like I can make it . But I'm trying 🙏

Yes small dulling pain every now and then . But it goes away . I'm

Just frustrated everyone said the surgery was no big deal and that I'd be back to normal within 2 weeks . So not true for me, going on 6 weeks I've got anxiety and depression. Nausea acid .

I hope you are better real soon

I was told the same, that recovery would be quick and would feel normal in a couple weeks but I got my surgery done in august and feel crappy still! By any chance do you feel full and sick after you eat by any chance? Like nauseous? Is your nausea constant or comes and goes?

Nausea comes and goes ,'when I eat I feel bubbly and acidy . When I don't eat I feel acidy . Dr has given me three diff heartburn nausea meds . None fix problem, then taking to many causes constipation and bloating . I wish I could sleep for a few days and wake up well . My nausea is worsened by stress. And it's a repeating cycle for me , but yesterday I had a good day overall so it gave me more hope that I will get better . I hope you are better soon as well

So you don't have that sick full feeling like me. I would say you're probably doing better haha. But I think we will all be better soon. I will pray for you as well! I don't think it's possible for one to feel like this forever you know? Just don't give up. When you don't feel like eating try having foods like applesauce, or bananas. Toast and crackers are good as well! Ginger tea helps nausea as well as peppermint tea and in candy form these also help! Have you tried the medication zofran for nausea and for the acidity tums or Pepcid? I take digestive enzymes as well. Probiotics too. Maybe you need some as well! They help break down meal fats as we don't have a gallbladder anymore to do the proper job.

Hi Deesan~ i hv my belly incision hernia due to too active n lifting weights... When i doing sit up, i heard a popping sound~ then suddenly my belly incision start pain. After a week, i go find my doctor... My doctor scold me~ then he let me see my hernia defect while ultrasound... XD kinda sad n stress as my doctor said if defect open up to 2 cm, should operation.... Stressful...

Sorry to hear about your hernia! Do you really need an operation for that though? I'm starting to think I probably have a hernia haha my stomach feels weird! It's a weird full sickly feeling after eating that I get. Can a hernia cause nausea and fullness?

My doctor said is better to operation to avoid intestine trapped in abdominal wall. Mine sometimes will cause me nausea and bloating. I get pain when I keep straining or whole day cleaning house.... N now i feeling pain due to too hardcore go toilet n cleaning my room. XD

Hey Laura! Just stopping by to ask how you're doing. Feeling any better today?
