    I've had my gallbladder out. And if anything it HELPED me lose weight, since I was one of the people that stopped being able to digest fat (appropriately) after it was removed. Basically, anything with a high fat content about 15 minutes after I eat it -- if I don't eat super slow or also eat a lot of fiber/bulk at the same time -- leads to spending 2 hours on the toilet. So this basically forces me to give up fatty, greasy things (for the most part).

    Anyway, how recently was your surgery? In any event, given the effect gallbladder can have on your digestion, I don't see any reason to not see if you can get some bloodwork done. You might have thyroid issues.

    When my husband had his taken out, he dropped nearly 40 pounds in 2 weeks. (May have been water)

    Hi, it was removed in July 2012.......I would weigh between 144 and 147 when I had it, after removal I have gone p to 158 and cannot lose it no matter what, I have had numerous blood work for thyroid and I am hypothyroid but have been for 12 years and my numbers are good so not sure what it can be.....I never have eaten a lot but have always eaten candy before and after, thanks for your help.
