    I had mine removed last month. I ate Progresso soup with beef or chicken and with either brown rice or barley. I drank diet ginger ale and a lot of water. I can't eat foods high in fat. I just tried brocolli today. I'll give cabbage family foods more time. I can't eat white pasta. I spoke to my dr. And was told I can resume normal eating habits. Dairy may give you problems. according to a web search don't eat: spicy, fried, white sugar/flour, baked beans, creamy sauces or soups, chocolate,pastries, lard type products, oils and gravies. It also suggested eating 6 small meals instead of the large meals. Avoid caffeine as it can hinder digestion. High fiber and gas pproducing foods be introduced to the diet slowly: whole grain breads, nuts, seeds, legumes, brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage.

    I had my surgery done laproscopically with 6 holes. Normally the holes can be between 4 and 7 incisions. When I was sent home, they didn't give me any dietary instructions.
    I had problems getting enough oxygen and the little sacs in the lungs collapsed. Breathing is hard.
    Its been about 17 days since the surgery.

    I trust your surgery goes well.

    Don't be too scared to eat.... My doctor told me to eat like I used too and not freak out about internet advice. It's true! I ate cake,chocolate etc.... Never got sick!.......... Just don't eat too much and too much fat but..... some won't kill you. Your system needs to fight it a little bit...if not it will take longer to be back to normal.

    Anyway, You can do whatever you want. I'm just saying that it's been 9 months for me and never got sick.
    I eat spicy,fat and all and all..... I have a hard time with Whip cream I must say.... If I take too much it's not good but that's all!

    I'm not a doctor and not telling anyone to go crazy and hurt themselves.... Just don't be too scared to eat fatty sometime. you won't die and probably won't get sick. Just drink lots of water to help drain your system.

    Take care
  • I had my gallbladder taken out 2 years ago in January, I was 15 and turned 16 a week after the surgery. The first few months anything super fatty would send me running to the bathroom, but now nothing bothers me, besides raw bananas. Does anyone else have that issue? I get extremely sick and now I avoid them at all costs.
