How do you deal with diahrrea after gallbaldder surgery?

Q: I seem to get diahrrea with EVERYTHING I eat since I had gallbladder surgery over a month ago. It is bright yellow in color. My stomach hurts really bad, and it is starting to get in the way of me working. I can’t stay out of the bathroom after I eat and I am starting to have to skip meals in order to get through the evenings? Do I have another problem, or is this just side effects, from not having a gallbladder.

A: i had my gallbladder removed a year ago I’m 18 now and it was really scary the doc said i had something else wrong with me ..my liver was enlarger and i had a stone in my pancreas..i waited too long and the pain was soooo bad…after surgery you get really bad shoulder pain because the air they put into your stomach has no where too go. i read that alot of ppl had diarrhea after the surgery. i didn’t have that . my stomach was really score i have 3 tiny scares on my stomach now. i find tho that if you don’t watch what you eat you will get another attack i still cant eat anything fattening. Ive gotten a few gallbladder attacks since. but the diarrhea isn’t anything to worry
