How to control the decreasing weight? - #19717

Hello Lohit, do you experience any discomfort after meals, such as indigestion, acidity, or irregular bowel movements? How is your appetite and energy level throughout the day? Given that your gallbladder was removed, understanding how your body is adapting to fat digestion would be important, as this could be a factor in your bloating and weight loss. Additionally, do you experience any stress, anxiety, or emotional factors that may be affecting your digestion or metabolism? In Ayurveda, the balance of Agni (digestive fire) is essential, and any disturbances in it can lead to symptoms like bloating, weight loss, and digestive discomfort.

First off, sorry to hear that you’re dealing with all this. Sounds like quite the journey. Since you’ve had gallbladder surgery and liver issues, let’s think about your agni, or digestive fire. Your symptoms suggest that your agni might be weakened, leading to bloating and heaviness. Interestingly enough, even though you’ve shed unwanted weight, it seems unintentional at this point. Typically, weight stability involves balancing vata dosha, responsible for many changes in the body.

Let’s start with your diet. Considering your gallbladder removal, your body might take longer to break down fats. So, small frequent meals that are easy to digest would help. Opt for warm, cooked foods over raw stuff. Kitchari, a mix of rice and lentils, is a wonderful choice – it’s nourishing and not too heavy. You can also add a bit of ghee, as it’s generally easier for digestion post-gallbladder removal. Try sipping on ginger tea throughout the day, helps stoke digestion.

On lifestyle part, think about gentle yoga or walking. Nothing too vigorous that might stress your system more; this should be calming. Pay attention to your mealtimes—try not to eat when emotional or stressed, it could impact digestion negatively.

Triphala is a classical Ayurvedic supplement that might be beneficial, works as a gentle digestive cleanser. Take about 1 teaspoon in warm water before bed, watch how your body reacts and adjust accordingly.

But hey, let’s talk more serious stuff too. Keep your healthcare provider in the loop about ongoing symptoms, especially if weight keeps dropping. Don’t hesitate to visit them for the appropriate tests or guidance, ensuring all’s well from a medical standpoint. It’s a balancing act, this combination of modern and ancient wisdom, and you’re gonna find your steady path.
