NO FAT RESTRICTIONS: After the gall bladder is removed, there is no reason one cannot consume fat. The gall bladder is not a vital organ, and now all the bile you create goes directly into the gut. Initially, after surgery, a small percent of men and women may have some post meal urgency, but that is self limited. If not, Imodium (loperamide) ad can correct the problem. Enjoy your cheeseburger. Good luck.
