Had gallbladder removed 2 months ago, feel a lot better but gaining weight in the tummy area ever since despite regular exercise and healthy eating?

Not uncommon: after cholecystectomy to gain weight. I think it is because you feel so much better when you eat compared to before. Consult with a dietician or nutritionist to limit your total caloric intake.
