Hi
Thanks for your query.
Avoid fatty , spicy , rich food . Have high fiber diet. For acidity take Rabeprazole 20mg tablet in empty stomach in the morning. Don't worry too much , just have regular clinical check ups.
Take care.

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
This is not uncommon after gallbladder removal and you should be patient for 2-3 weeks more till wounds heal. you just need to follow hepatoprotective diet and avoid alcohol, fatty food and fried food. Several weeks are necessary till digestion stabilize after cholecystectomy. These are not serious symptoms at this point so you dont have to be worried.
Wish you good health. Regards
