LIFE AFTER GALLBLADDER SURGERY!


 

The process of gallbladder removal is called a cholecystectomy. As there is no organ to store bile in the body after the gallbladder surgery, the liver releases bile straight into the small intestine. This makes digestion of fatty, greasy and high-fibre foods harder for the system to do. Therefore, some changes need to be inculcated in the lifestyle for some time for a healthy body. 

  1. Avoid fatty foods

Try to escape from fatty foods in your diet for some time after the surgery. Just 30% of your entire diet should be made up of fats. Where possible, read food labels and avoid processed foods. Foods such as sausage, beef, fried foods, chips, full-fat milk, yoghurt, and poultry should be consumed in moderation.

  1. Abstain from taking large meals

Since your digestive system now functions somewhat differently, consuming too much food in one sitting can put excessive pressure on your liver, making it unable to produce the amount of bile needed to assist digestion. 

Therefore, you should avoid consuming large meals as you did before gallbladder surgery. After the surgery, you should consume frequent short meals to reduce the pressure on the liver, making your digestion efficient.

  1. Avoid food high in fibre

Eating high-fibre foods soon after your gallbladder has been removed can cause problems such as bloatingabdominal paindiarrhoea, etc. Limit your consumption of high-fibre foods such as cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, beans, nuts, cereals, and bread, and gradually reintroduce them into your diet so that your body can adjust to it.
