Sometimes it does get better over time. But it's best to deal with the situation you have now, especially accepting it. Not accepting it stresses you out and inflicts unnecessary stress on your body as well. It has been proven that your gut reacts negatively to too much stress. So, it becomes a vicious cycle.
One thing you might consider is that there are others who are much worse off than you are. Feeling as you do, and going through what you are, it might seem impossible to do that. But, it's up to you.
I suggest you try the gallbladder diet that's on this site at first, and eat small, frequent meals, instead of 3 a day. You post said that you're 2 months out from surgery. This is major surgery and it takes the body a long time to heal itself and adjust. How long depends on your body--some folks can take up to a year, and, unfortunately, some folks never do.
If things don't improve by 6 months out, then get a referral to a gastroenterologist. A gastroenterologist would be a better doctor to help you.
I am 7 weeks post op and I have trapped wind. Is it normal? It is preventing me from eating normal. I am weak, lightheaded too. It is horrendous.
I feel the same now. I want to know if you got better.
I said I had my gallbladder take out 3 years ago. It isn't getting better only worse each day. Things I could eat a year ago I can't eat any more, such as gluten products.
I have been to 3 different GI doctors. Went to a major hospital in US to see GI doctor they just put me on PPIs which did not help, with help of nutritionist I was able to get off them. Use DGL For my acid reflux, which I didn't have until they took my gallbladder out. Went to local GI, she said I had gastroparesis, with 2 hour test. Went to GI doctor in Indy they did test and said my stomach doesn't expand and is slow moving. But I didn't have gastroparesis. But offered little help, mostly just listen and took notes.
Surgery 3 years ago, no mine has not gotten any better. Overtime I have been able to eat less and less foods. There isn't a day that goes by that my stomach doesn't hurt. Things I use to be able to eat a year ago now bother my stomach and had to quit eating them. I can't hardly eat any fruit bananas are the only fruit that doesn't hurt my stomach. Chicken is main meat, boiled or grilled. I can eat some vegetables, steamed. I continue to look for a doctor to help me, maybe a Functional doctor.?
Did you have normal bowel movement after the surgery? What were your symptoms?
Hello. I’m sorry to hear of what you went through. I truly hope you are better now. What you went through sounds a lot like what I’m going through now. I’m sick all day, my stomach hurts and feels nauseous all day. I have no appetite and when I force myself to eat a little I feel sick. It’s been two years since your post on here and I was wondering how you are doing now. Please send an update.
I'm currently going through the same thing. It feels like I have an upset stomach all day long. It's been three weeks since I had my surgery and was doing just fine up until this week. I'm so afraid to eat and I feel depressed. I wonder if this will ever go away. I am so anxious..
Hi Jovie, it will be 8 weeks this week since my gallbladder was removed and I am still nauseous and sick and just feel unwell all day. Anxiety comes and goes for me too as I wonder if I will ever feel normal again. People do get better though and it takes several months for some. It gets very hard to stay positive but most of the time I just try to make it through the day and take it day by day and focus my attention on something positive. I pray you feel better soon and we all will recover.
