Bare-chested patient with a liver and gall bladder painted on his body. He is pointing on the red colored gallbladder. Often patients feel pain because of gall stones which results in bilious attacks and a gallbladder infection (cholecystitis).
Adopting a suitable diet is essential to avoid digestive disorders:
Choose easily digestible foods: Broths, purees, cooked vegetables, and lean proteins help the digestive system adapt gradually.
Limit fats and fried foods: It's best to use vegetable oils in small quantities and avoid overly rich dishes.
Increase your fiber intake: Whole grains, vegetables, and fruits help regulate digestion without causing irritation.
Divide your meals: Eating small portions helps prevent digestive overload.
When can I leave the hospital after the procedure?
In the absence of complications, discharge from the hospital usually takes place within 48 to 72 hours. A normal diet is resumed gradually, depending on individual digestive tolerance.
Even though gallbladder removal can affect digestion, a suitable diet and a healthy lifestyle allow the body to adapt naturally. Avoiding excess fat, favoring light meals, and listening to your body are essential for optimal recovery.
