I just had my gall bladder removed 3 days ago and i haven't been able to go to the bathroom #2 yet....I have eaten fruits and veggies and i try and stay away from fatty foods granted ive eaten a couple things with fat ... i have a lot of gas..and i feel bloated.. and drink a lot of water to flush my system... and i just took an ex lax but nothing seems to work ... i dont know what i can do or what might be causing this or if it is common not to go to the bathroom for a while ... please write back asap!

Gas and bloating is very normal after gallbladder surgery. They pump your abdomen up with air during surgery, that air has to go somewhere!! I had my gallbladder out last wednesday and it took a full 3 days to have a bowel movement. Give it a day or two more, if nothing happens, contact your dr.

same here always running to the bathroom - many times during the day - can be right after I eat or several hours later. It can range from an inconvenience to DISASTER!!! I should weigh 100 pounds...but not losing any weight!!!
