Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It can take few weeks to recover completely after a gall bladder surgery. If it is 9 days and the surgery was laproscopic then it is expected to cause abdominal fullness and discomfort. Though the gall bladder is on the right side of abdomen, a laproscopic surgery involves inflating the abdomen with gas and this causes bloating and pain in some patients.

Please have foods which are natural like fruits and vegetables. Bread and noodles are processed foods and cause problems in digestion. Drinking adequate amounts of water and juices is suggested. You can include small amounts of processed food in your diet in few days and continue to have natural foods for some time. Please do not worry.
