Post Cholecystectomy: Weight loss due to gallbladder diseases as well as post operative weight loss are extremely common. If you were overweight to begin with this is likely beneficial however if you were normal weight before, you may need some supplemental nutrition. I suggest you discuss this in person with your primary MD. You can make a plan thst is tailored to your unique situation. Best of luck and heal up swiftly
