Having A Bit Of Difficulty

77yangya · ‎06-21-2011

Ever since I had to have my gall bladder removed, two years ago, I can't eat my favorite, spaghetti marinara. I can only eat SMALL portion of it at one time. If I eat more, I get queasy. Well, tonight I had it and went a wee bit over. I felt queasy but it's going away....whew! I lost 25 lbs. and then more. I just can't eat the way I used to. We went to our favorite little place that makes it so nice and I almost ate the whole thing. To me it's not that much but I was always a big eater. My DH kept saying, is it time to stop? I get annoyed, he was right. I said, yeah, it's time. I took the rest home. It's so weird, I just get queasy. I used to be able to eat this by the metric ton. LOL! Anyway, I feel better now. It's like being motion sick. Crazy! Thank you to whomever reads this. XO

Hoping everyone is okay and getting along. I know there are a lot of folks out there struggling much worse than I.

I had my gallbladder removed years ago and have never had a single side effect. I eat everything I want.

My friend had his gall bladder removed last week & he is eating everything with no issues. Did you discuss this with your surgeon? Is sauce the only food you're having an issue with?

I had mine out years ago and can't eat what I used to...everyone's different I guess😜

Take time every day to enjoy where you are without a need to fix it

@77yangya ..... hope you are feeling better ... sometimes when something is really good we don’t want to stop ... it’s human nature.... it happens to me sometimes 😊

I had trouble with certain foods BEFORE having my gallbladder removed. No problems afterward. You might consider speaking with your doctor or nurse practitioner.

I had my gallbladder removed when I was 3 1/2 months pregnant. The duct was blocked so there were not many options. That was the only gallbladder attack I ever had. I had been very ill with the pregnancy and thought the nausea, heartburn symptoms were related to the pregnancy. But then the severe pain came and would not go away. I lost 25 pounds and had trouble eating. But once my son was born my body adjusted. Everyone is different, maybe in the future you can return to eAting the sauce, Judy a little bit at a time.

I had terrible gall bladder attacks which lasted 8 hours. Finally they discovered I needed to remove the gall bladder. I could not eat cantaloupe or fresh pineapple, before and I still had the same pain after the removal.

They did a scan afterwards and found no reason for the pain, but I stay away from these items. Most of the attacks I had before the removal, were not from any other thing I ate.

So I am wondering if you had previous problems with spaghetti sauce or pasta before your procedure?

had my gall bladder removed in the 1960’s and I do remember one of the warnings was that I might find foods I could no longer digest. Sadly, I proved to myself I could overeat almost anything. I was only 24 for that surgery and didn’t suffer pain or even much heartburn for another 20 some years.

now in my late 70’s, I can still eat just about anything as long as I limit portions (especially with fatty foods). The only things I eliminate totally are those I just don’t like.

We humans are different in so many ways!

I had my gall bladder out about 10 years ago...as I was leaving the hospital the next day I was told to watch closely when I ate lettuce, I was told it could go right thru me....I was taken back because my doctor never mentioned any side efffects from having no gall bladder.

Fast forward....I eat a lot of salads and never did have any problems. You might want to ask your doctor about the issue you are having.
