Can you give me some suggestions for after gall bladder removal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: If your surgery is done laparoscopic, then refrain from strenuous activity x 3 weeks. I advise my patients to eat "light" for the 1st 24 hours (soup, toast, etc), then increase diet as tolerated. Most patients have no food intolerances; a few have fatty food intolerance. A few patients have post- prandial diarrhea. In these, i prescribe Colestid (colestipol) or questran, which resolves the situation.
