I had my gall bladder removed about three months ago and I was worried that my past year and a half on Atkins had caused the problem with it so I went off of Atkins for 2 1/2 months. Like an idiot, I didnt bother to ask the doctor first if the Atkins could have caused the gall bladder disease. So when I gained 15 lbs back as a result of going off of Atkins following the surgery, I finally did ask him about it and he said it was fine for me to go back on Atkins as a WOE and that it didnt have anything to do with the gall bladder going bad (Hence, I'm back on induction again)
