Let's start with a diet for patients with gallstones. I won't list foods, but will focus on principles that, once understood, will help you choose your own diet. There are two principles: 1 - avoid fatty, fried, and spicy foods; 2 - eat frequently but in small portions.
The diet after gallbladder removal can be divided into three main stages: 1 - the early postoperative period; 2 - the first month after surgery; 3 - the entire period thereafter.
The diet for gallstones is much stricter than that for patients after surgery, and failure to follow it can lead to acute gallbladder inflammation and emergency surgery. There are no restrictions on diet in the late postoperative period after gallbladder removal, other than those required by healthy eating principles.
However, remember that only the surgeon who performed your surgery can provide individualized dietary and lifestyle recommendations.
