Eating AFTER gallbladder removal- Tips? Experiences?



Recommended Posts

Hey, y'all :)

So, I am set to get my gallbladder out shortly due to many stones and sludge. (Yippee...)

Being 8 weeks out from my bypass surgery, I am just starting to really feel like I am getting a good handle on this new way of eating/ planning food as it is right now.

For those of you who have had your gallbladders removed, what changes did you notice/ need to make in eating? Did those changes, if any, resolve over time? Any tips or tricks?

Thanks in advance for sharing!

Very low fat until you can increase it slowly. My hubby was very sensitive to spices, I was not.

I 2nd the very l low fat. I had an issue with just about all animal fats post ops. I ate a LOT of grilled chicken for the first 4-6 months post OP. Another thing that didn't like me was the cooking sprays. I had to coat my pans with a bit of olive oil instead for a long time.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
