Oh, I thought I was CRAZY. It's been a month since my gallbladder removal surgery and the gut I have is insane. I work out 5x/week and on a low carb, low sugar diet, drink a ton of water a day and nothing. I am 50 years old and every time I bring it up with the doctor they attribute it to age and/or menopause. I have a constant gurgling in my gut after I eat and my stomach just balloons. I have a follow up appointment with my surgeon next week and I will press him for additional alternatives than simply "just live with it." I remember pre-surgery the dr. briefing said "you may gain weight". He said most people who gain weight eat worse because they weren't used to eating fatty foods before and now they can. Well, I wasn't eating any differently. I remember checking out of the hospital and received 10 pages of paperwork advising me of the negative affects of the pain meds they gave me but NOTHING regarding diet and weight gain, which has longer affect on me.
