Hi,
Normally after gall bladder surgery, there is some loss of appetite and difficulty in eating food but not so much. In view of your persistent problems and weight loss, I suggest you get a fresh ultrasound abdomen or better still, CT scan of the abdomen to find out the cause. The treatment will depend on the cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
