Many people who have undergone cholecystectomy have the question: I no longer have a gallbladder, can I still eat meat and fish now? Similarly, patients who have gallbladder diseases (gallbladder stones, gallbladder polyps, etc.) and need to undergo cholecystectomy also have this concern, in fact, this concern is superfluous. To understand this issue, we should know the function of the gallbladder and the source of bile. The gallbladder is used to store bile, which is secreted by the liver, not by the gallbladder, and it is bile that digests fat. The bile secreted by the liver reaches the gallbladder through the bile ducts, and the gallbladder stores it on the one hand and concentrates it continuously on the other. When a person eats, the gallbladder contracts, allowing the bile to enter the intestine to help the body digest fat. If a cholecystectomy has been performed, then the gallbladder is gone, so there is no storage space for bile. However, we know that the human body has a huge compensatory capacity, and the common bile duct works without the gallbladder, and the bile that is normally secreted by the liver is stored in the common bile duct. If you have had surgery soon, the common bile duct cannot completely replace the gallbladder, so if you eat more fat at this time, the body cannot digest it completely, which may cause diarrhea and other conditions. Therefore, you should not eat a lot of fatty foods at this stage. After surgery, when the person is recovering from various functions, it is possible to try to eat fat in small amounts at this time. This is to train the function of the common bile duct on the one hand and to increase nutrition for oneself on the other. After a phase of adaptation, the human organism can slowly accept it, and at this time, the amount of fat eaten can be increased appropriately, so that the common bile duct can gradually adapt to the requirements of the human body. For some patients with gallbladder stones and gallbladder atrophy, the concentrated contraction function of the gallbladder has degenerated and disappeared, and the common bile duct has compensated, so they can eat fat earlier. After cholecystectomy, it takes a process to eat fat again, and it is not good for health to not eat fat at all, but it is also important to know that you should not be overly eager to get there quickly. Eating a small amount of fat will enable the common bile duct to enhance its function and play its role as soon as possible, while not eating fat at all is not good for the recovery of the function of the common bile duct. Therefore, after cholecystectomy, after a period of time, it is possible to eat meat and meat like a normal human diet.
