Guys I really would appreciate all the info and advice you might have. I got my gallbladder removed on August 5th and during the week of my recovery or two, I felt alright. I think perhaps around the third week I started feeling sick after I ate and this full and pressure feeling in my stomach after I ate the smallest thing. Also felt nausea again. I'm so angry, I thought this surgery was suppose to fix all my problems sad. Anyway, I seem to be having digestive isuws. I would like to be able to eat a normal meal without feeling sick after for hours or so bloated and full like I ate five meals. I even hate eating now. I keep loosing weight and its me good, I'm currently underweight and I'm 25 years old and about 5'6. I weigh 90 pounds sad. This is scaring me and I don't feel good or like myself. Any suggestions if I need probiotics or enzymes maybe? Anything i would appreciate please I feel like I'm going to feel like this forever and end up dying or something. Just wanna be healthy again, these issues are making me feel depressed and anxious.

      Surgery 3 years ago, no mine has not gotten any better. Overtime I have been able to eat less and less foods. There isn't a day that goes by that my stomach doesn't hurt. Things I use to be able to eat a year ago now bother my stomach and had to quit eating them.  I can't hardly eat any fruit bananas are the only fruit that doesn't hurt my stomach. Chicken is main meat, boiled or grilled. I can eat some vegetables, steamed.  I continue to look for a doctor to help me, maybe a Functional doctor.?

    Hello. I’m sorry to hear of what you went through. I truly hope you are better now. What you went through sounds a lot like what I’m going through now. I’m sick all day, my stomach hurts and feels nauseous all day. I have no appetite and when I force myself to eat a little I feel sick. It’s been two years since your post on here and I was wondering how you are doing now. Please send an update.

      I'm currently going through the same thing. It feels like I have an upset stomach all day long. It's been three weeks since I had my surgery and was doing just fine up until this week. I'm so afraid to eat and I feel depressed. I wonder if this will ever go away. I am so anxious..

      Hi Jovie, it will be 8 weeks this week since my gallbladder was removed and I am still nauseous and sick and just feel unwell all day.  Anxiety comes and goes for me too as I wonder if I will ever feel normal again. People do get better though and it takes several months for some. It gets very hard to stay positive but most of the time I just try to make it through the day and take it day by day and focus my attention on something positive. I pray you feel better soon and we all will recover.
