After gallbladder removal, the main points of attention are fasting in the early postoperative period and eating less greasy food.
1. Early postoperative fasting: after removing the gallbladder, complications such as abdominal distension and nausea are likely to occur. Early postoperative fasting, after the recovery of gastrointestinal function, can be carried out semi-liquid diet and gradually transitioned to a normal diet, consume light and easy to digest food, and it is recommended to eat small and frequent meals.
2. Eat less greasy food: the gallbladder is an organ that concentrates bile, and after the removal of the gallbladder, the amount of bile used to digest food is reduced, so dietary attention should be paid to eating as little greasy food as possible, such as: fatty meats, doughnuts, deep-fried food, etc., which can easily lead to indigestion and diarrhea. Foods that are too stimulating and difficult to digest should also be eaten sparingly or not at all.
After gallbladder removal, you should listen carefully to your doctor’s instructions, pay more attention to your diet and have regular checkups.
