Weight loss after baby and gallbladder removal

There are many people here who have continued to lose weight after gallbladder surgery. I think that I have lost 30 or 40 more pounds since I had mine removed.

Yes, see your doctor...but also know that it sometimes takes a few months to really feel normal again after a cholecystectomy. I would imagine that having just had a baby is the bigger issue!

You should steer away from the higher fat diets. Try 10% fat? That might work.

If it doesn't, then you can get some meds to help. I had a friend who ended up feeling like she got a new lease on life with the fat-digesting enzyme or whatever it is.

I had my gallbladder out a year after I had my son. I had a lot of digestive issues the first several months, usually after a high fat meal. I gained a lot of weight for various reasons, but I am starting to lose!

Ive had issues for about 2 years after having mine removed, it's all just trial and error to see what upsets my stomach, but definatley high fat foods are a no no for me. I haven't had any trouble in losing the weight, it was the opposite for me and i lost very quickly in the first 6 months due to feeling so crappy all the time after eating and making me physically ill.

I had my gallbladder removed about 5 years ago. The first year was the worst for me, I found I just could not go out to eat, I had to eat at home where I knew where the bathroom was. Now most foods don't bother me, but I will get pain after eating highly processed foods for some reason, and eating too much fat too often can cause me some problems too. However there really isn't a change in the rate at which I gain or lose weight. Give your body time to adjust, it took me a year, maybe a little more but all seems fine again besides the issues I mentioned. As the poster above said. Not a bad idea to check with your doctor.

Take a probiotic. And ox bile supplement. And always take a enzyme before eating a higher fat meal. This you will find will help loads and since you are not digesting normally or having bile dumping this will help. Healthfood store ir vitamin shoppe has it. I had out for 12 years.

I too have had mine out many years ago - apart from initially finding there were a few foods that caused pain/nausea - which for me oranges, high fat content foods however it was temporary and now I find I don't have restrict anything, that said though everyone is different it will help for you do conduct your own experiments into trial and error.

I have heard for many decades now, that gall bladder removal equals 'Sorry but it's now impossible to lose weight'.

My older sister had her's removed and used the above untruths as just another reason to continue to overeat and add to her burgeoning waist line all with my Mother's support and her being the source of said "Old wives tale".

Please do find your trigger foods if you have any - avoid them for the time being and be rest assured you too will have no troubles losing weight as long as you have the CI-CO equation right.
