Nutrition after removal of the gallbladder, after surgery, should be special, because the body is incredibly important during this period to recover from the intervention of surgeons.
Popular ailment
Now this procedure is done very often, it is in second place in the operational rating, the first - for appendicitis. As a rule, they remove the bladder after the occurrence of gallstone disease, which by that time, of course, is so neglected that there are stones inside the organ. And food in this case should generally be built according to a special scheme, when products that it is desirable to consume are added to the diet gradually. It is not surprising, because any "penetration" into the body violates the balance there.
Why is it important to change food after removal of the gallbladder (after surgery)? The fact is that after the removal of this organ, it is important to "whip up" bile secretion, and at the same time, of course, the metabolism itself is faster to normalize. That is why the most difficult will be the first days after the "disposal" of the organ. Just imagine that you will be allowed to drink plain water only a day after the gall bladder is removed. And its volume is strictly limited and amounts to 1 liter in 24 hours. And up to this point, it is only allowed to moisten the patient’s lips and tongue with a wet swab or just regularly rinse his mouth with chamomile infusion.
Cooking or stewing only
Food after removal of the gallbladder (after surgery) will be able to at least somehow diversify only after 36 hours. From this moment on, you can safely introduce jelly without sugar and kefir with minimal fat content into the diet. And again, the volume of fluid consumed should not exceed 1.5 liters.
When the 3rd day passes, the patient is allowed to drink juices that irritate the gastrointestinal tract (pumpkin, beetroot) as little as possible, as well as eat mashed potatoes, boiled fish, protein omelettes and mashed soup. As a dessert, you can use fruit jelly. In addition, from now on you are allowed tea with sugar.
It is allowed to eat dishes (after removing the gallbladder the diet is quite strict) only those prepared by cooking or stewing. Eating fried, smoked or pickled foods is unacceptable, and this rule will have to be followed for quite some time. Servings should be small, while eating better often. Let it become one of the main rules for you that a portion of food should not exceed 200 grams each time.
Add fruits and dairy products
Food after removal of the gallbladder (after the operation should take at least 5 days) can become more diverse due to bakery products, however, it is important that they are dry (crackers, biscuits). A day more than 100 gr. such a product, at least for the first time, is not recommended.
Fruits after removing the gallbladder, try to take in small doses, starting from day 6, if you take for the starting point the date of the operation to the patient. But immediately fresh they are better not to eat, the first time you need to turn them into mashed potatoes or bake. It is well known that, violating their structure, it is possible to make fruits safer for the digestive tract, because they can cause fermentation. From this moment, by the way, you can start to use cereals, meat, vegetables and dairy products.
From 8 to 45 days after the operation, a sparing diet will be shown to you without fail. And having overcome this threshold, you can eat boiled sausage, eggs (one per week) and even whole milk and vegetarian cabbage soup. However, you will have to protect yourself from fatty and smoked foods for several years, it is also strictly forbidden to overeat.
