Dealing with symptoms after Gallbladder surgery

I appreciate so much your posts. I had my gallbladder removed March 4 (laparoscopic) and have been battling on and off again nausea and aversion to eating. The only thing that seems to help is a prescription for a PPI to reduce acid in the stomach. Is that what helped you most? I’m intrigued by the anxiety aspect of it bc I too have been very anxious about feeling sick again and for so long. Like this is my new normal. I took stomach meds for acid for 2 weeks, felt great so stopped them and then nausea came back. Would you mind sharing what meds have worked for you and if you are still on them? I still have to wait two weeks to see my gastroenterologist. Surgeon said everything was fine on his end. :-/

@eeklady, Welcome to Mayo Connect. I would like to say that I am happy that your surgery is behind you, but from what I read, I see that you are currently struggling with some unpleasant symptoms.
After my husband's surgery, he mostly sipped liquids, and ate small amounts of soft foods.

Had you been experiencing any of the nausea issues prior to your gall bladder surgery? Do you think that might be part of the current problem? Who prescribed the PPI? and why did you stop taking it?
