Dealing with symptoms after Gallbladder surgery

@roisemaire, My husband had laparoscopic gall bladder surgery in Nov. 2016. I have just asked him for the following information about his recovery times. - He was able to resume his normal diet at 6-8 weeks and not have the nausea. As general rule, I try to cook 'heart friendly' foods when here at home. He ate smaller servings and supplemented with small snacks. Since he liked the weight loss that he experienced, he continues to consume smaller portions even today.
He also remembers that his pain was pretty much gone within 2 weeks. He refused to fill the Rx for the pain meds before he came home from hospital. He wishes he would have had the Rx for the first 2 days at home. After that Regular Tylenol was all he needed.

I encourage you to call your surgeons office just to be sure everything is healing on schedule for your particular situation.

I really like your name!
Rosemary

Thank you Rosemarya for your reply. Yes I would have thought it should be a lot better by now. Iv appointment with surgeon tmro and hopefully I’ll get answers. And thanks again ur own name is a version of mine.

@roisemaire, Since he has recovered, my husband has not had any problems with foods. He can eat anything he likes, with no digestive problems. I am aware of some people who need to modify diets as Teresa mentioned and avoid certain foods. And I nearly forgot to mention that I do not have a gallbladder (mine was removed when I got my liver transplant), and as far as I can tell, I don't have any food related digestive issues related to that either.
I hope all goes well for you. Let us know what you find out.
