Gallbladder remival surgery in 3..2..1

Hi all.

I had my sleeve done Jan 2013.

Shortly after that I developed gallstone pains. After a year and a half I'm finally over it and having it removed. Now with this pain I had to learn how to eat in a different way than my surgeons have instructed. (Basically I was told to eat lean meats and high natural fats such as nuts, but butters and avocado etc..) that being said- almost all of those things triggered gall attacks. So I can handle meat still- give me a juicy steak and I'm a happy girl!

While my doctor doesn't really have advice as to what I can and can't eat- I've read to stay away from red meats, all peanuts, all fatty foods (including healthy fats and oils that my body definitely needs!!) I've also read I should stay away from dairy for a long time- so there goes my high protein soft food.

I am unable to supplement many vitamins- my body just rejects them- still unknown why- so I've relied heavily on healthy nuts and oils and such to help my nutrition.

This all being said. I know some of you have been through this, any advice would be amazing!

What can I eat post gallbladder removal surgery?

At this point I'm thinking chicken broth.... And I'm almost stumped at that!

Thank you in advance for the advice!

OMG! Me too, I was sleeved in June 2013 and almost to the year in May had a massive attack and had emergency surgery to have it removed.

Yes you want to make sure you watch what you eat ( high fat or fried foods will do numbers on your stomach). But I eat everything and I'm doing fine.

Good luck

Thank you!! That brings piece of mind!!!

I'm trying to put together a "post op" menu, and I seemed to run out of ideas for really soft foods that don't have dairy, or any fat in it.

This should be easier now thank you!

I had my gall bladder removed during my VGS. I have had a few foods that do not agree with me, but mostly, it is the speed at which I consume the food or Water. I am so glad to have my GB removed as it was causing me discomfort before the surgery. Just try one new food at a time...if it works then yeah! if it doesn't....don't totally give up. Try again a month later. Best wishes!

I had mine out 7 months post sleeve. Nothing bothers me. I still eat protien and vegies. No high carbs. Fat does not bother me at all.

just had mine out monday, what I read and what I plan on doing is sticking with healthy fats and low fat dairy and adding it all very slowly..
