Anyone have their gallbladder removed?

However , ever since it was removed, if I eat any greasy or fatty food....there better be a turlet nearby . Like clock work within about 15 minutes of eating....its time to evacuate.

Not nearly as bad as it was when I first got it out. Back then. If I eve had a craving for fried chicken or something greasy, it would trigger a visit to the bathroom. Doc said it was something to do with the brain having a craving and tell the body to prepare for processing the fat. Back then. I remember eating some chicken fingers after being released from the hospital and not really eating much for a week. Within like one minute of finishing eating, I was like oh shit. Damn near shit my pants. .

Thankfully, it’s not that Acute anymore.

This, although it's not quite as bad for me. I had mine out a couple of years ago and for whatever reason, if I eat certain foods at lunch, I better be near a toilet. I can eat a big greasy bacon cheeseburger at dinner. No problem. Eat that at lunch, though, and you can just start a count down. If you don't watch it, you'll be posting in the 'When did you last crap your pants' thread.

I do notice that this is occurring less frequently, but I make it a point that if I am in trial or have court in the afternoon, I have just an energy bar for lunch.

Had my gallbladder removed 15 years ago and was much the same.

For about 4 months after that if I dared eat Chinese or Mexican food at lunch or even a greasy burger it was a mad dash to the bathroom. I almost became a member of the "have you ever crapped your pants at work club".
