What can you not eat after gall bladder removal?

There are not really any restrictions, but you should really watch foods high in fat.  The gall bladder releases bile that helps to break down fatty foods, so when it is no longer there, these fatty foods are not able to digest as easily, and it could cause indigestion and/or stomach pain.

Sounds like gall stones. Lay off spicy and fatty foods and it will limit the attacks until you can have surgery to have the gall bladder removed (insist on laproscopic surgery as you'll be out of the hospital the same day and back to work within the week). When having an attack, I find if you can induce a state of near-hypothermia (you need the muscles to spasm in a shiver) that you can work loose gall stones blocking bile ducts (the pressure is why you feel pain). Also the most comfortable way to rest sitting in a chair backwards leaning forward slightly. I slept like that many a night before having my surgery done and it helped loads.\n\nGood luck.

kidney stones can be removed by passing them yourself, or by using ultra-sound to shatter them--yet gallstones in the gall bladder can only be removed by taking out the gall bladder to my knowledge- my wife had it done a few months ago--they do it by laporoscopy- just a small incision near the belly button- not major invasive surgery anymore-- maybe i week recovery- just to rest and catch up- any ??-holler back at me- your friend should be fine -don't worry--today- it's only day surgery-after they wake up from the anesthesia- they send them home--not bad at all-really!! don't worry !!!!

There are no natural remedies for this problem and if it was me I would definitly have it removed. The abdominal pain your husband has been having is more than likely a gallbladder attack.  They will continue to get worse if the gallbladder isn't removed.  I would also go ahead and have it removed because your surgeon would have a better chance at removing the gallbladder using a laproscopic approach rather then the old way (big incision down the abdomen).  When you have your gallbladder removed using the laproscopic approach, your recovery time is much faster, you are in a lot less pain, and you can usually have it done on an outpatient basis (which means it will be cheaper because you won't have a long hospital stay).  It would also be better to remove it now  because he will eventually have to have it removed anyway.  By waiting you also run the risk that it could rupture and then you would really get sick.  As for the bile dripping into the intestines, that is not right at all.  First of all, the gallbladder is a storage space for bile and your intestines (commonly referred to as your colon) is the route your bile travels to leave you body.  Surgeons are very careful not to let bile leak out of the gallbladder while removing it.  If bile is to leak out then they would just irrigate and suction it out and I really don't think it has anything to do with you always feeling hungry.  I would just contact your surgeon and ask him any questions or concerns you are having. Hope this helps you some.

This is a relatively simple and safe surgery. I had my gall bladder removed a few years ago. You may want to ask your doctor about special diet considerations after the surgery as sometimes the fat in my body doesnt metabolize since the surgery. This varies from person to person. All will be well with your mom =) Its a very simple procedure and I was back to work the next day.

I gave my husband a "Gallbladder Flush" a couple of months ago...and he has not had another attack since....\nYou need 1 liter of pure virgin olive oil, lemon juice, V-8 or pineapple juice.\n\nWhat to do:  Fast for at least 12-24 hours before the flush,( also it is best to do the flush when you don't have anywhere to be for a couple of days.)  Drink 1/4 cup of olive oil followed by 2 Tbs. of lemon juice.  Do that every 15 minutes until all the olive oil is gone.  If you feel sick at your stomach, drink a very small amount of V-8 or Pineapple juice, then continue as soon as you can.  When it is all gone, just lay down on your right side and just wait.  He had results in about 3 hours, but sometimes can take longer.\nHe had to go to the bathroom alot, and felt bad at the time, but he did pass alot of bile and gallstones.  His doctor said it was perfectly safe to do this, and he had not had any problems since.\nGood Luck

It's not what you take, it is what you don't take. Stick to drinking water.  Avoid salt, sugar, caffeine. Eat raw veggies.

I don't think that that is possible. I had gall stones last yr & had to have my gall bladder removed. The surgery wasn't too bad &  I felt 100% better afterwards. I had gotten to the point where I could hardly eat & I was throwing up as soon as I woke up. I was told that your symptoms never get better they will only get worse. I wish you the best of luck. God bless.

In my opinion, there is some kind of infection related to the gall bladder (use to digest the food). It may be cholecystitis or otherwise. You are advised to consult any surgeon for more details.

If all the above fails, Try not eating full stop. Oh but watch out for drinking as water may be contaminated!

There are some low cost things you can do to get your health back.\n\n#1. I would try the water cure\nhttp://curezone.com/foods/watercure.asp\nDrink six glasses of water each day and add 1/4 teaspoon of unrefined sea salt to the water to start remineralizing and rehydrating your body\n\n#2. If you do not have Pancreatitis from drinking, it may be that gall stones are causing the problem. You can prepare for a gallbladder flush by drinking 1/3 teaspoon of raw unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar in 6 ounces of apple juice, upon rising, mid-morning, mid-afternoon and after dinnner, for one week. You can dilute the apple juice with distilled water, as I prefer. Dilution is especially recommended if you are hypoglycemic. The small stones and gravel will be removed and cleansed due to the solvent action of the malic acid, enzymes, pectins and potassium in the ACV. \n\nThen do a Gallblader Flush;\nThis method requires filling an 8 ounce glass with one part organic virgin olive oil and two parts organic apple juice. Add 1 teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar and take this mixture 3 times a day for the first day and 2 times a day on the second day. You may only drink as much apple juice as you desire on these 2 days but NO other liquids. This is not recommended for diabetics because of th high sugar content of the apple juice. Go to sleep on your right side with your right knee drawn up to the chest. On the third day, about mid-morning, eat a raw salad with generous amounts of ACV and organic olive oil on top. You can also eat lightly steamed greens, if you like. When you have a bowel movement you will notice tiny greenish stones in the bowl. Amazing! You may notice feeling nauseated as toxins, bile and mucus dump into your stomach. Should this happen, drink 1-2 glasses of distilled water and regurgitate, if you can. This will help you feel immediately better.\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=179&p=1\n\n#3 Give yourself a coffee enema after the gallblader flush(critical)\nFill enema bag\nHook about 4 feet above floor (on towel rack)\nKnee-chest position with chest against floor and rectum higher than head\nInsert nozzle tip into rectum, using lubricant (olive oil) if needed\nEmpty water into rectum, and hold inside rectum as much as possible\nMassage abdomen in counter-clockwise direction\nWhen bag is empty or no more fluid can be held, remove tip\nLie on each side for 5 minutes, while massaging abdomen\nDiscard contents of rectum into toilet\nRepeat until bag is empty\nhttp://curezone.com/art/read.asp?ID=33&db=5&C0=818\n\n#3 When you complete these cleanses, coninue drinking distilled water each day but avoid processed foods, meat, dairy, bread, sugary drinks, and diet drinks. Your body needs to have a chance to heal itself.\nhttp://notmilk.com\n\n#4 Eat mostly fruits and raw vegetables. Carrot juice has amazing healing qualities. So do blueberries. Eat or juice raw tomatoes, raw cucumbers, raw celery, raw spinach, and raw asparagus. Add Curcimin(Turmeric) to juices.\n\n#5 Vitamin C in high doses would be beneficial.\n\n#6 Get at least one hour of sunlight each day. \n\n#7 Get plenty of solid rest

(m)\n\nTREATMENT\nIn most instances gallstones cannot be dissolved by medical treatment . The Gall Bladder must be removed along with the stones in it. People have asked me if "Gall Bladder Flush" therapy works. To my knowledge this treatment not effective and I do not recommend it. Doctors cannot ethically use or recommend any treatment unless it is known and proven to be both effective and safe in a significantly large proportion of people. \n\n\nLITHOTRIPSY: Using ultrasonic shock waves to break stones is not a currently accepted form of treatment for Gall Bladder stones. \n\n\nSURGERY: The most effective cure for gall bladder stones is surgery. The classic "old" operation required a big cut, but nowadays most people are treated by Laparoscopic Surgery. \n\n\nLAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY\nThis is currently the treatment of choice for Gall Bladder stones. The Gall Bladder and the stones are removed through small punctures. It is technically possible to remove the stones alone - but this would leave the problem gall bladder behind - which could continue to cause problems or form stones. Removing a diseased gall bladder does not cause any disability. Under normal circumstances, one would not feel the absence of the gall bladder. \n\n\nLAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY \n\n(Removal of the Gall Bladder via key-hole size punctures) \n\n\nThis operation is performed by specially trained surgeons. Special equipment is used to look inside the abdominal cavity ("stomach") with a video camera. The Gall Bladder with its stones are removed through small punctures. \n\n\nA general anaesthetic is required and one has to stay in hospital for about 72 hours. \n\n\nLaparoscopic surgery for gall bladder stones cannot be done in all cases. Some people, whose stones have moved out of the gall bladder into the bile duct may need either an open operation or an additional procedure known as an ERCP. \n\n\nIn addition, it is not technically possible to do a laparoscopic operation at all in some people because of severe inflammation or adhesions between organs. Such patients mat require an open operation. \n\n\nADVANTAGES OF LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY:\n1. Much less painful, only 3 to 4 stitches are needed. \n\n\n2. Only 2 to 3 days stay in hospital (as little as 1 day in some instances) \n\n\n3. The patient can eat and drink the soon after operation. There usually no need for an intravenous drip to be administered for 2 or 3 days as used to be the case after "open" cholecystectomy - the name used for the operation of removal of a gall bladder through a big cut. \n\n\n4. Normal life can be resumed in about a week. \n\n\n5. Minimal blood loss at surgery.

my grandma used to use cod liver oil for gall bladder issues, not to lose weight. I'd drink lots of water, eat fruits, veggies, whole grain, low fat cereal and milk and walk, walk, walk.  Good Luck, you can do it!

Any surgery can have side effects. See if you can get a copy of the operative report. Ask your surgeon: were there any adhesions? any complications during surgery i.e. bleeding or any gallbladder wall or gallstones left behind? Any spillage of the stones? What is the chance of getting a hernia from the incision(s) and or ports. Is it possible a stone was missed in the liver or a stone migrated out of the gallbladder before it was removed?  Were there any studies done to confirm no stones left behind, i.e. cholangiogram? Can I get an ultrasound for this painful area? Ask the surgeon if any further studies can be done, i.e. HIDA scan to see if you have sphincter of Oddi dysfunction.

you shouldnt have to have surgery unless the gall stones are blocking the duct in the gall bladder.  if this is causing you more problems then you need to have it taken out for sure.  it is a very simple procedure, and it can be done with laser, and you will go home the same day.  dont let this go because it can make you have episodes of pancreatitis too, and that is 4x as worse as a bad gall bladder.
