Hi everyone, just about five days out post-of from having my gallbladder out. I am feeling pretty good, but I am so tired! I have a questions though, I stepped on the scale this morning and it shows I gained 35 pounds in one week!!! How can this be??!!! Any ideas? I also haven't had a BM since surgery too (i know, sorry, tmi).

That's very odd about the weight gain. Are you sure? I lost weight. And the constipation is from the pain meds. You might try a stool softener or just eat salads, fruit esp apples, etc for a few days.

if not and you did gain that much in a week see a doctor sounds like fluid not real wt
