In searching the web for information that might be relevant for you, I did find several forums where other people have written about gaining weight after having their gall bladder removed. Others lose weight after the surgery, so it's hard to know for sure what could be going on. I'm sure it's discouraging to eat well and exercise five days a week and not lose!!
Have you asked your doctor about this? Several people mentioned having their thyroid levels checked, and I'm wondering if this could be helpful to you. Here is our EmpowHer page about hypothyroidism; do you have any more of the symptoms listed here, other than weight gain?
