Healthy foods to eat after gall bladder removal

6 years ago I was diagnosed with gallstones and am still awaiting the operation.  In the meantime I have had to keep to a very boring low fat diet. I have to read the labels on all foods, which is a pain, but on the other hand can be very useful with determining not only the fat content of foods but also salt and sugar, too much of which is also not healthy.  I am now an avid label reader, and although reading labels is not very exciting it does tell you what you are eating.  Before my diagnosis I never thought to read labels but now, when I see the fat content of foods it horrifies me - some ready meals are 50% or more fat!

I'm now into miso soup and soba noodles, chick peas and bulgar wheat, tofu and quinoa - delicious and satisfying and very low fat.

But my favourite is turkey dripping on toast, can't eat the dripping but can eat the jelly underneath which has the best flavour.

Someday I'll get my op, and then I can eat what I want.

You should usually follow the same general recommendation about food, with or without any disease: a balanced/low-fat diet (by decreasing or avoiding fast foods, fried foods), eat lots of fruits and vegetables, less starch, less sugary foods/drinks, drink more water/non-alcoholic beverages. The gallbladder is just a storage pouch for the bile manufactured in the liver (to aid in fat digestion/breakdown). The liver continues to perform its task well without the gallbladder.

...become a vegan ...eat whole grain breads ... no fat diet .....think about the foods you love and crave and then devise a low fat exciting substitue.

I loved milk shakes ...so I took fruit, Ice . some cold diet soda and made the best fruit smoothie ever ...substitution is awesome...

I love spaghetti meals ...make them with no butter ...use a veggie like eggplant or carrots for the meat .....yum...eat your way to health!
