Daily adventures of not having a gall bladder

Last I wrote, I was doing the whole30 challenge. I completed it! I felt good about what I did, but really didn't feel any awesome effects from it. And I didn't lose that much weight, however a few of my friends (who did the challenge) think it has something to do with my gall bladder. Back in January I had a major malfunction, which was apparently my first ever gall bladder attack. And after 3 months of pain and anguish, they finally yanked that sucker out.

I should mention, part of the pain and anguish was my own doing. I really didn't want to get my gall bladder taken out if I didn't need it to be done. So after the scan showing my little gb was only functioning at 2%, it was decided that I needed it out.

However, I'd like to know WHY it went bad. The doctor was kind of a jerk about the whole thing. I explained to him that I'd been low fat for quite some time, and it puzzled me that my gall bladder had gone "bad". He really didn't care.

But I do. I want to know why I am not losing weight. I want to know why it went bad. You only have one body (okay, most people only have one body. If you believe in reincarnation, disregard) and I want to know why it decided to give up on a vital organ.

I am going to start looking into this more. In between watching Sailor Moon videos on youtube, anyway.

So far I haven't really eaten anything other than soup, but I'm not yet a week post op and frankly, I don't really want the side effects I've been warned about.
