Generally, you can eat egg whites about 1 week after gallstone surgery and try to eat egg yolks about 1 month later, but the exact timing should depend on individual circumstances and need not absolutely follow the above timing. Depending on the individual’s recovery, the degree of tolerance to food and the compensatory digestive function may vary. If the patient is recovering well and the digestive function is well compensated, egg consumption may be considered for a short period of time. Most patients recover better after gallstone cholecystectomy and can return to a normal diet. Only a small percentage may suffer from poor digestive function, which can be easily induced especially after the intake of some high-fat and high-cholesterol foods. For such cases, it is necessary to wait 3 months or more before ingesting eggs. Attention should also be paid to the way eggs are cooked. Steaming, boiling and stewing are generally recommended, and eggs fried in oil should be avoided as much as possible to avoid causing digestive malfunction. During the 1-3 months after gallstone surgery, it is important to eat a light diet, increase the intake of dietary fiber, and avoid high-fat and high-cholesterol foods. At the same time, quit smoking and drinking, eat less and more meals, and avoid overeating. Keep sufficient rest and avoid straining.
