What would be the most appropriate dietary change for a patient who had a gallbladder removal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Tracy Berg answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Diet after surgery: Once you are recovered from your surgery, 2 to 4 weeks, your diet can return to normal. However, if you take this surgery as an opportunity to improve your diet then try lowering fat, lowering portion size, and increase frequency of food/snacks. Free app "my fitness pal" may help. Be well.
