Foods to Avoid
While your body adjusts, it's a good idea to avoid high-fat foods for a few weeks after having gallbladder surgery.
High-fat foods include:
- Foods that are fried, like French fries and potato chips
- High-fat meats, such as bacon, bologna, sausage, ground beef, and ribs
- High-fat dairy products, such as cheese, ice cream, cream, whole milk, and sour cream
- Pizza
- Foods made with lard or butter
- Creamy soups or sauces
- Meat gravies
- Chocolate
- Oils, such as palm and coconut oil
- Skin of chicken or turkey
High-fiber and gas-producing foods can also cause some people discomfort after gallbladder surgery, so you may want to introduce them slowly back into your diet
These include:
- Cereals
- Whole-grain breads
- Nuts
- Seeds
- Legumes
- Brussels sprouts
- Broccoli
- Cauliflower
- Cabbage
Spicy foods may also cause some gastrointestinal symptoms for a short time after gallbladder removal.
