Need Weight Gain

Updated

Just had gallbladder removed and had papillary stenosis which they perform a sphinctoromy. This illness started at the end of July. Gallbladder out 5 weeks ago. Sphinctoromy 1 week ago. I went from 132 to 118 from July till now. How can I gain my weight back?

Hello, Kay! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems that you've had.

Do you have any dietary restrictions, since having the surgery?

It will likely just be a matter of time, making sure that you eat good, healthy meals frequently. Rather than just 3 times a day, you may want to eat more often, if your doctor approves.

I've found that nuts, like almonds, tend to help me a lot, when my weight drops and my cardiologist highly approves of my eating them, since they have many health benefits.

Does anyone else have any advice to add?

Thank you so much for your reply!
I have been put on Dicyclomine as this feels like a spasm/colic that lasts anywhere from 5 minutes to a half hour. Everyday is a better day but stress seems to set it off also. I will take you advice and give it some time. I had this condition for six months so I should be more patient with my recovery. Thank you for caring! Merry Christmas!

You're very welcome, Kay and I hope you had a fantastic holiday!

I understand, when recovering, it's always difficult to be patient, we usually want to get back to normal and it's frustrating when we can't quite do that, yet.

Please post back and keep me updated on how you're doing. Thanks!
