Life After Gallbladder Removal Surgery - What to Expect, Scars, Foods and Drinks to Avoid (1 year)

[@danielatorres7863]

I just want to thank you for taking the time to be honest and vulnerable, and posting this video for people like me. My gallbladder was removed a few days ago. I feel pain and pressure, but I expected it. I was just looking for some hope for the future because I agree, there are more negative videos on the internet than there are positive ones, so I was beginning to feel depressed. I’m going to hold onto the hope you’ve given me and continue to work things into my diet and routine very slowly. Thank you again! ❤

[@neonlistic]

thank you for sharing your positive and yet not so positive experience with the surgery. I've been really scared but now I felt a little peace in my heart. Thank you!

[@LXSeaV]

I'm experiencing alot of Gas in my stomach and feeling stiffness and swelling in my belly, maybe I'm gaining weight.??

[@josephlerz6889]

@@AndreiaYT they say your not allowed to drink alcohol without a gallbladder, and you have to eat less carbohydrates because you have less bile so you can gain weight more easily

@josephlerz6889 I have no problem drinking alcohol without the gallbladder and my diets hasn't changed either

[@joannathesinger770]

I had my gallbladder out one week ago...on Monday. I was back to work Thursday and Friday...and today is Monday. It was a pretty "meh" surgery...I went home after 4 hours in recovery...never took a pain pill. I'm 65...and had my first gallbladder attack at 16. It's been a l-o-n-g time coming and I'm soooo glad it's gone!!! I tried spaghetti Saturday...got a bit of indigestion...and a large salad on Tuesday was too optimistic...but everything else I've tried has been great.

[@rachelroberts3628]

Fair enough but we are all different !!! I had surgery a week ago and still in pain ….

[@cristinabailey5680]

Thank you for this video! I know that bodies and reactions to surgeries are different. But this gave me assurance that I was going to be okay. I had my surgery 2 weeks ago, after approximately 6 YEARS of enduring gallbladder pain and full blown attacks (in my defense, 3 out of the 6 years I was getting misdiagnosed by doctors saying it was just gastritis lol). Once I had the correct diagnosis, I tried other things to see if I could avoid surgery but there was no other choice. I was so desperate and in pain that even though I was scared deep inside I knew it had to be done. Now, I'm recovering and so happy is over. I'm taking it slow with food as I was doing prior to the surgery because I was always scared of having another attack (even when I was eating healthy things). But so far so good!

[@AndreiaYT]

Aww I'm so pleased to know your recovery has been smooth so far 😊 I hope you will be able to eat anything soon ❤️

[@AndreiaYT]

Aww brilliant! I'm hoping all is going well with your recovery ❤️

[@jendrakesmama]

This is the first video I have watched that hasn't made me cry my eyes out. Just had mine out on Friday and have been getting lost down rabbit holes on endless diarrhea or constipation, vitamins deficiencies, etc. Both my dad and brother have been fine post removal and have insisted I will be too. Hearing you are also doing okay is really reassuring. I am doing the same, being very careful with what I eat and slowly trying new things. Also same here with milk! Makes me sick anyways and never have liked the taste.

[@AndreiaYT]

Hi, I'm glad you liked the video 😊 yeah, when I was watching videos they were mostly negative, that is why I wanted to share my experience. Everyone in my family that have gone through the same surgery were all well. I really think a strict diet helps. I hope you have a smooth recovery ❤️

[@ingridrivas1322]

I have 25 days post op now surgery went ok thanks god , I was dealing with anxiety and panic attacks all the times since now so I was so scared to get this surgery was my first surgery first weeks was so hard specially for the gas pain omg and I couldn’t sleep on side 😖 plus dealing with food now I feel better but I keep losing weight, and some chest pressure i went to ER get EKG everything is good they said is my anxiety 😟 but I feel tired 🥱 the glue still there I ask the nurse she said i should leave it for one more week !! Some foods give me gas and morning I woke up with nauseas 🤢 also when I lay down to my left side I felt nauseous idk if that’s normal

[@nikhot1000]

Did you full really quick and nausea before the surgery?

[@denisemartinez1521]

How many days would you recommend to wait to drink hot herbal tea? Like chamomile no caffeine.

[@AndreiaYT]

I'm not sure as I'm not a tea drinker. But if it doesn't have fat or caffeine it should be fine

[@tamarabuckner5434]

The whole surgery process was like a blink of the eyes. When you wake up after surgery, its as if the whole process was done in split second. I'm still amaze until now. I can eat anything now and I'm happier. Surgery put me out of my misery.

It’s almost been a week for me after gallbladder removal. When did your incisions heal enough to where sneezes and coughs stopped hurting?

[@AndreiaYT]

After a couple of days

hey dear can u plz tell how long is the surgery procedure time and u were having pains before surgery ??? i live in uk and i am in waiting list for gallbladder clinic since 2 years :/

[@BlazinFaith]

3 years now since i had mine removed, and i eat everything but i have diarrhoea most of the time when i eat fatty food. other than that everything is perfect 👍🏽

[@genacat4599]

I haven't been able to eat in 3 months. I've lost 25 lbs now and I've had multiple attacks. Everything I eat hurts me. Tomorrow is my surgeon consultant but I'm pretty sure it has to be gone. Is soup okay to eat after, like Campbell soup? And some juice. Bread and sandwich?

[@AndreiaYT]

I hope the surgeon can help you. You should ask him for advice on what to eat 😊 I was told to not eat to soup after the surgery for the first few days, or juice.

[@denisemartinez1521]

Why can’t we eat soup? I was told to be on a liquid diet for the first couple of days.

[@denisemartinez1521]

Just trying to have the best recovery possible I get mine removed on Halloween day

[@genacat4599]

​@@denisemartinez1521 I was on a liquid diet for 1 week. I ate soup and crackers. I have been avoiding everything greasy. So lots of soups and crackers and steam veggies and turkey sandwiches. ..I slowly added foods. I chew very well as well. I hope you are better now.
