I'm sorry to hear what you are going through. When I had my cholecystectomy last October, for some reason I expected immediate relief - similar to having an appendectomy. The slow recovery surprised me. The first time I ate a piece of pizza I was sick for 2 days!

My surgeon was the old school stereotype - operate and go home, let someone else deal with the aftermath. If I hadn't been so miserable before surgery, I would have been looking for a different surgeon. So, I turned to my trusted PCP who explained that chronic gall bladder issues tend your alter your whole digestive system. After surgery your body needs to relearn how to produce, store and release bile to digest food.

She gave me a strategy to try - it took a few weeks, but it got me back on track. I was to eat 1 ounce or less of a low-fat food like 1/4 apple or toast with jelly. Drink a little water . After an hour, if all was well, repeat. It took about 6 weeks, then I slowly increased portions. Now, 10 months later, I can eat nearly anything. Except, some foods like beef, sausage, cheese & ice cream, I must carefully limit the amount. If I have cheese for lunch, no ice cream that day, etc. She also said if I continued to have issues she was going to send me to a dietician who specialized in reintroducing foods.

Have you tried a portion-limited low-fat eating trial?
