No, not normal: Definitely contact your provider to have an evaluation and then follow recommendations for corrective action. From your description of the feelings it is not the result you wanted and it can not nor should not be ignored. Call ASAP, okay? Best wishes.

Cholecystitis: No. You should be feeling better six weeks after removal of the gallbladder. See your surgeon to ensure there is not an infection, abscess, obstruction, or other complication related to surgical removal of the gallbladder. Keep a log of the foods that you have been eating to share with your surgeon too.
