6 weeks after gall bladder removal ,constant nausea and diarehaa wont stop and cant eat

i got my gallbladder out 9 months ago if i eat pizza fruit salads cereal chocolate etc i get really bad tummy aches and it makes me have the runs help wat should i do

I had my gallbladder out a little over 3 months ago due to 2 different times of passing gall stones and had emergency surgery one of those times. However since then Ive been having nausea and bad gas.. Ive also been getting lightheaded once in a while. However the nausea didnt start til bout a month and half after the surgery and its off and on. .but recently its been real bad.. to where its all most all the time. and the gas is constant.. not so good. i feel yucky on most days! is this normal?

I had my gallbladder removed about four weeks ago.

A few days ago I tried to have a few drinks with friends, and went to bed with the spins (had maybe 5 drinks, which would--under normal circumstances-- cause no issues to my system).
I woke up the next morning and vomited, and then again 3 hours later (vomiting green bile,) and then again 2 hours later (vomiting a vibrant yellow colour). I couldn't believe how horribly sick I was. I assumed I just drank too much, or, maybe it was food poisoning. I also had some very sharp pains in the area where my gallbladder was removed (aka my liver).

An aside: I've eaten a variety of foods and it seems that nothing as of so far have bothered me.

Then again, last night I had two sugary vodka coolers, and went to bed nauseous. Luckily, I didn't vomit this time (but I did take two Gravol to subside the nausea).

So, there seems to be a continuing sensitivity to alcohol. So perhaps my gallbladder removal is a blessing in disguise to avoid extra calories ;-)

I had my GB removed 3 weeks ago. Stayed over night in hospital due to severe nausea due to anesthesia. I had terrible nausea after coming home and doctor prescribed Zofran which worked a little. My nausea is worse in the middle of the night and morning. A week after surgery doctor prescribed med for Bile reflux. I am still nauseous in early morning and eat mostly applesauce or saltines but feel back to normal during day and evening so hang in there!

I had my gallbladder removed the 2nd week of august emergency surgery was needed. I was in alot of pain. had everything go wrong and they kept me in the hospital for 4 days.. Finally got sent home, had pneumonia, thrush and everything else that could happen..

just a month ago i was feeling better and than wam.. i was throwing up anything and everything for a full 24 hours.. bright green foam bile and what not. So they admitted me to the hospital for 4 more days.. thinking it was pancreatitis but they could never figure out what it was..

none the less i left because i was finally able to hold down foods and had every test in the book, but still did'nt figure it out..

i've lost 20 pounds since my surgery. i'm 19 years old and i'm down to 108lbs..

they did 4 incisions and the top one seems to bubble up. the other 3 are doing fine but the top one still hurts and looks red and puffy..

My gall bladder filled with stones was removed in January. 8 months after surgery I began experiencing nausea lasting all day long (without
vomiting). Today (after 7 weeks of nausea) I had an endoscopy and my gastroenterologist said that I have a lot of bile in my stomach and he prescribed carafate to coat my stomach. I am waiting for the prescription to be filled. He also said I have some inflamation and preformed a biopsy.
Has anyone had any luck with carafate?

Hi I, like others, am so glad I found this site and thread. I have had my op 4 days ago and am still feeling very woozy. I have just had my first walk and I have come back absolutely shattered. My incisions are still painful, especially the one on my tummy button. My main concern is that everyone expects me to be back at work within next few days and yet I really do not feel up to it. Other sites say 2 weeks max if keyhole but I really can't say that I feel that I will be well enough in a week to return.

How long on average has anyone been off after a normal keyhole procedure?

:-(

I am also have continual nausea after about six weeks post gall bladder surgery. This site is the first where I've read about other people experiencing similar symptoms. I am worried and wonder when/if it will ever stop. I've been told it could be months. So far, I've lost about 26 pounds. I'm so hungry and I can't eat. My diet is Ensure.

I want to respond to two posters:

1) yes, if you had laproscropic surgery to remove your gall bladder there will be 3 or 4 incisions besides the one on your belly button.

2) to "Guest" with chronic pain after gall bladder surgery...there may have been nerve damage during the surgery itself and that's why you're hurting so much. Go to a chronic pain clinic for a diagnosis or bring up nerve damage with your docs.

I lost 25 pounds and it took 2 1/2 months for the nausea to subside enough to eat food. My doctor put me on 20 mgs of prednisone and my appetite returned, nausea died down and I was able to start eating small meals. Now, can eat almost regularly, although I get full quickly, which isn't so bad because it helps keep my weight in check. Feels like a whole new way of eating.

I also want to respond to someone who is having twinges of pain from the drain site of her gall bladder surgery up to her shoulder. This may be nerve damage caused by the surgery. I had a lung biopsy 2 1/2 years ago and have suffered chronic pain from nerve damage ever since. She should be checked out for nerve damage.

Best wishes to all,
Charlotte

I had my gallbladder out 7 days prior and have been having worsening nausea and epigastric pain. I am keeping a food diary now and EVERYTHING hurts and makes me sick. I have lost about 11 pounds (good) but am so miserable I don't want to do anything. I am getting really depressed and scared that I will never feel better. (I was very sick for weeks before the surgery.)

I don't want to go through more tests like an upper GI.
Help

Thanks much,

I had my gall bladder removed 2weeks ago on a thursday afternoon, i spent the night in the hospital because they also had to repair my umbilical hernia, but i was still very lucky to have only one incision through the belly button, my doctor just worked a little longer and harder to do it all through one port, hey, you know, I'm 26 and have a nice little stomach and it was so close to bikini season i couldn't bear to lose my stomach being cute. So i just LOVE my doctor, he is awesome!!!! I went home that Friday, just relaxed around the house all weekend and went back to work that Monday, I still had some soreness, but not too bad. I have been able to eat whatever I want from the day after surgery, i just made sure to take my pain meds every 4 hrs for the 1st week. The only issue I am currently having is that my belly button is still draining a little, which i think may be a result of having to rebuild my belly button.
I hope you all feel better soon.

I to have had gallblader removal, that was like the third week of agust and I am just in pain when I eat....I just dont want to eat my....and my stomach feels like I have bad cramping like im food poisoned and the runs...a little dizzy.....what should I do...oh and im only 25 yrs old...

? i had galdbladder surgery oct 4th 09 i steal feel sick. i feel like i've been poisoned. i feel very ,very sick. i have sever stumach pain. i have sever constipation. all the time. food makes me feel sick at my stomach. i feel worse now i have had the galdbladder removed. wha t to do?????????????/

Im 8 YEARS POST OP STILL SICK. THEY DONT TELL YOU ABOUT THE PERMANENT EFFECTS OF HAVING YOUR GALL BLADDER REMOVED. A friend of mine also had it removed and now suffers with inability to eat much if at all, chronic pain (as do i ) and stomach upsets all day and night (as do I). I dont think doctors have a goddamn clue about the post op trauma. Nor do they want to listen. This realy have ruined my complete passion for life, I cant work full time because of it and I now suffer full blown anxiety because no one would listen to me when I have the pain-even now 8 years later. No doctor will refer me to the pain clinic-instead they put me on anti depressants which is fine and well for the anxiety but it seems no one cares about my pain and other discomforts.

I am just about 2 and a half weeks after my Lap GB removal.

I have had nausea that was mostly centered around bouts of diarrhea. Once I controlled the diarrhea (with OTC stuff; pepto bismol) I started to feel much better. My appetite came back and I started to have more good days than bad ones. I had one day this week where the nausea was so bad I had to take a phenergin and just sleep it off. Here's a few things I learned.

I also take Aciphex and synthroid (I'm hypothyroid). My doctor lowered my dose of synthroid because that affects metabolism and digestion. If you're on synthroid through this, talk to your doctor about that.

Walk a little every day. Even in the beginning, get up and shuffle around. It works out the gas and gets the digestion working better.

Eat 5 or 6 small meals a day and try not to let yourself get too hungry. Empty stomach + unregulated bile = unhappy people.

Talk to your doctor about controlling the diarrhea. I felt better once that was under control. Ask about a probiotic supplement before you use one, they're not for everybody.

BE PATIENT. What you read online about people bouncing right back after surgery is not the case for everyone. Based on my casual research, most people take 2-4 weeks to feel somewhat normal again. Just because the incisions are small doesn't mean losing an organ is not traumatic for your body.

Fuel yourself well. Don't eat junk food just because you can. Eat high fiber, low fat, low sugar meals. Help your body heal. Some people have trouble with dairy or wheat, try eliminating some of that to see if you're one of those people.

Get enough sleep. Like 8 or 9 hours a night at least in the short term. This is your body's repair time.

Drink enough fluids - not caffeine, and not carbonated. Being dehydrated makes you feel weak, woozy and lifeless. Having diarrhea makes you dehydrated.

Do these things, DON'T READ THE SCARY STORIES ON THE INTERNET, and give yourself a few weeks to a month where it's just ok that you're healing and not feeling well. Everyone heals differently. Some of us just take longer than others to adjust.

Pay attention to the things that are on your post op sheet and don't ignore them. If you have a fever, severe pain, or any of those things on the list don't wait, go immediately and take care of yourself. You will feel better :-)
