Protruding Belly As If Pregnancy After Having Gallbladder Surgery. Any Reason?

What makes someone swell after having gallbladder surgery. They is a whole site, Steady Health, with people asking the same question. All of us have pregnant bellies that we did not have before and our Dr.'s cannot find out why. What causes this and what can be done. I went from 115lbs to 160. It is all in my belly. It protrudes out as if I was pregnant.
Thank you

Hi, it appears that the people who got surgery for gall bladder may think that they have got a major surgery, and have heavy food in convalescence. There is lot of rest taking after the surgery, means lack of physical work, or exercise.
And there are also so many reasons which are not known. But diet controle and exercise may controle to a large extent. Thank you.
