what is a good diet after gallbladder removal?

Question

Had troubles with gallbladder since 13, when flushing the bile feel better temporarily, will the removal surgery help?Or that means diet for life?

Answer 1

Low fat: Low fat, high fiber, avoid greasy fried foods and excessive butter and drink plenty of caffeine free, alcohol free fluids.

Answer 2

Low far: The best diet after removal of gallbladder is low fat diet. It is better to have frequent small meals, eg 5 small portions instead of 3 large portions.

Answer 3

No: Your body needs proper nutrition while breast feeding. Attempting to loose wieght during this time risks your becoming malnourished.

Answer 4

Yes: "dieting" is not needed, as long as the breastfeeding woman eats only as many calories as needed to maintain her normal (pre-pregnant) weight. For example, if she was 120 pounds before pregnancy and is now 145 pounds, she should eat just enough for a 120 lb woman. Her 25 lb excess will be gradually used up in the production of breastmilk (25 ounces of breastmilk contains about 500 calories).

Answer 5

Absolutely: Usually when breastfeeding, you need 300-500 calories extra per day which is not much. You are absolutely encouraged to exercise and be on a healthy, wholesome diet to help with some fat loss to get to your pre-pregnancy weight.

Answer 6

It depends: Whether a urinary catheter is needed depends on the length of the operation as well as surgeon preference. Sometimes a catheter is placed for the operation only and removed before a patient wakes up from anesthesia. If the operation is uncomplicated and only involves taking out the gallbladder, then this is usually short enough to not need a catheter.

Answer 7

No: It depends on how big is the stones and if its obstructing the duct.

Answer 8

Somewhat: Diet with modification of fat intake, coupled with exercise can help slow heart disease progression. To say it can prevent it is probably stretching things. However, there is no question that regular exercise coupled with good diet habits and a physician's guidance imo can clearly improve one's cardiac disease status. I believe considerable research exists to back up that statement.

Answer 9

Nothing very much: It can be normal and still you can have a bad diet.

Answer 10

Tobacco and other : Drugs cause harm to the infant, most foods are quite safe.
