After my Gallbladder removal(which was about 5 months ago) I lost about 5 or 8 pounds. I had an oatmeal, Yogurt, jello, vanilla wafers, and Gatorade diet, until I could actually eat some real food. This lasted about a week. I couldn't eat chicken because it was hard to digest. But I could eat slides turkey from the deli. I couldn't really up my fiber, because it would give me more gas than I was having from the surgery, and I couldn't digest it as well. But after some weeks, I was back to eating regular. But the key, No spicy or Fatty Foods(im sure you know that).
