Answers:
As with any abdominal surgery, there are minor upsets in the digestive system after gallbladder removal!. I imagine you didn't eat very well before the surgery, and probably didn't eat a lot in the days immediately following!. So there's not been a lot in the system to move along really!. If you feel the need to go and are in difficulty, try a glass of the water soluble fiber drink!. That should work to loosen matters up nicely!. If you haven't had much solid food this past week, it may take a bit to get the system up running properly again!. Usually it takes a day or so of all solid food meals to have anything to go with!. Just keep an eye on the amount of fat you eat!. Otherwise, you will want to be adding in the roughage at this point, the salad veggies and fiber, to get things back to normal!. Without the gallbladder storing bile, you can overload the system if you take in too much fat, and diarrhea and gas will be a fairly quick result!. You'll have to learn your own personal tolerance through experiment, I'm afraid!. I don't suggest a full fry up meal, but just start slowly adding in fats until you make the decision!. If the fiber drink doesn't help, then your next item to try is milk of magnesia, along with some whole grains and salad veggies, and plenty of water/fluid!. Don't do a laxative, as the last thing you want right now is diarrhea and gas!. If things are really difficult, the doctor can give you a stool softener to help!. Good luck dear, and may the rest of the recovery go well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
