What and how should I eat after cholecystectomy?

As I mentioned before, the gallbladder is simply a storehouse for bile. When the gallbladder is cut off, the bile produced from the liver, a large factory, flows directly into the intestine to participate in the digestion of food. In the early stage, because the amount and type of food consumed is not constant, the bile cannot make timely adjustments according to these differences and may cause some digestive problems, such as bloating and diarrhea, abdominal pain and constipation, and indigestion. This situation usually improves in about 4 months, and the body will automatically adapt. However, in order to avoid minor problems, we’d better make some adjustments in our diet. First of all, the first meal after surgery is definitely a liquid diet, it doesn’t matter if it is millet oil or rice soup, if you don’t have diabetes, you can put some sugar to improve the taste. Due to the infusion, the patient doesn’t have much hunger, and the purpose of eating is to wake up the intestines that are paralyzed because of the surgery. My hospital has a day surgery system for gallbladder, and patients are discharged directly on the 1st day after surgery. Some hospitals will keep the patient in for two more days, but not too long. For the next 2-3 weeks, the gastrointestinal tract has not adapted to the absence of the gallbladder and sometimes expresses missing by using vague pains. During this time we need to be properly soothed. The diet is gradually titrated from a liquid to a semi-liquid diet. Rice soup and rice porridge, thin rice. Noodle slices, noodles in clear soup. Vegetable lotus root powder, white radish, egg white and date tofu soup, etc. are not allowed to eat. At the same time eat less and more meals, you can eat 4 to 6 meals a day, each meal do not eat too full. You can eat some small savory dishes for flavoring, but do not eat prematurely oily food, of course, vegetables and fruits are allowed to eat. After 1 month, the gastrointestinal tract starts to get used to life without the gallbladder, although it still misses it occasionally. We should also gradually urge it to resume its work. During this period, you can eat moderate amount of high-protein and low-fat food, such as poultry and seafood, as long as to ensure freshness, fish, shrimp and mussels can be eaten, but it is best to use the steam cooking method. Also do not eat fatty meat and egg yolk, and fried foods. To avoid vitamin deficiency, vegetables and fruits should be increased in quantity. After 3 months, the gastrointestinal tract begins to accept the days of leaving the gallbladder and basically does not show pain. At this time, we should not stimulate it. Do not eat animal fats and offal, fried food and fast food. Also do not overeat, do not smoke, you can drink a little bit of alcohol, and of course juices are best. Basically, after 4-5 months, the gallbladder has become a reminder of the gastrointestinal tract. The flow of bile is not much different from normal. At this point in time our digestion has roughly recovered. Even if a little smoked food is eaten. There is no discomfort either. But in order to avoid the resurgence of stones. They make their home in the bile ducts. We should still make sure that we have a reasonable lifestyle, do not smoke, do not sleep late, do not eat greasy food. Do not drink too many stimulating drinks. Eat three regular meals and exercise properly. Eat breakfast on time and eat more vegetables and fruits. The rest of your life curl, and stones never see each other again.
