Gallbladder 12/23/2013

Dear readers, today on my blog I have an article about nutrition after gall bladder surgery in holidays. This will be a continuation of a series of articles on this topic. I myself shared my experience on the blog: I have been living without a gallbladder for more than 15 years, and the doctor Evgeniy Snegir wrote several articles on the blog on this topic to give more full information. I am very grateful to Evgeniy for such work. How many people does he help with his answers? After all, it often happens that you are discharged, but the questions and all the little things that bother you every day simply remain unresolved.

I think that the article will be relevant to everyone who has problems with the gallbladder, liver, gastrointestinal tract, and pancreas. In short, dietary holiday recipes will be presented.

I give the floor to Evgeny Snegir, who wrote this article.

Nutrition after gallbladder removal. Menu and recipes for the holidays.

Today we will talk about nutrition on holidays for diseases of the gallbladder and in the postoperative period after cholecystectomy. All patients understand perfectly well that any errors in the diet will lead to an exacerbation of the disease and the holiday will be irreparably ruined. This is understandable. But on the other hand, I want to treat myself to something tasty. Therefore, we will try to diversify our festive table to the extent possible, without causing harm to health with these liberties.

Nutrition after removal of the gallbladder in the early postoperative period. Menu.

If less than 7 days have passed since gallbladder removal, then the basic principles of nutrition are outlined in the article Nutrition after gallbladder removal. We can’t think of anything more here; in the early postoperative period, a sick person needs very strict adherence to the rules of diet therapy. The close participation of relatives and a festively decorated table will compensate for temporary difficulties.

Nutrition after removal of the gallbladder, when 7-10 days to 1.5 months have passed. Menu. Recipes.

More options when 7-10 days have passed since the operation.

What dishes can we diversify our table?

1. Sour milk sandwich . Perfect as a light, interesting snack.

Take 100 g of low-fat cottage cheese, 100 g of stale white bread, 100 g of boiled or baked apples, 100 ml of 15% fat sour cream or kefir, dill or parsley.

You need to rub the cottage cheese through a sieve, chop the apples on a fine grater. Mix all products with sour cream. Grease the slices of bread with the resulting mixture, level the surface and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley and dill.

2. Cream soup with shrimp . Very good as a daytime dish during the winter holidays.

Take 2-3 potato tubers, half a medium-sized carrot, one stalk of celery, half a bell pepper, 300 g of shrimp, 500 ml of water, 400 ml of milk, two tablespoons of wheat flour, 5 g of butter, salt.

Cut the potatoes into small cubes, carrots into small circles, and bell pepper– strips, then add finely chopped celery to them. Very carefully and lightly fry the vegetable mixture in butter and, stirring, simmer until tender. In a saucepan, mix the milk and flour well until the lumps disappear, then add water and put on fire. Peel the shrimp and place them and the vegetable mixture in the pan. After boiling, reduce heat and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, and add salt at the end of cooking.

3. For those who like food from their own garden, we will provide recipe for milk semolina soup with pumpkin .

We need 1 liter of milk, 0.5 liters of water, half a glass of semolina, two glasses of grated pumpkin, two tablespoons of sugar.

Cut the peeled pumpkin into pieces, add a little water, simmer until tender, rub through a sieve with liquid. Then add semolina to the boiling milk, cook for 10-15 minutes, then add the grated pumpkin and boil. It is better to season the soup with sugar.

4. Soufflé made from boiled meat and cottage cheese . A soufflé beautifully placed on a plate successfully decorates a festive table.

Take beef meat - 150 g, cottage cheese - 50 g, half an egg, 15 g butter, 5 g cheese, 10 g white bread, 20 ml milk.

The beef must be freed from fat and films, boiled, then removed from the broth and cooled, covered with a bowl. Then pass the meat, cottage cheese and bread soaked in milk through a meat grinder with a fine grid, add the yolk and part of the softened butter, beat everything well. Beat the cooled egg white with a whisk and combine with the prepared mixture, stirring with a spoon from top to bottom. Then put everything into greased molds and smooth the top with a knife. Sprinkle grated cheese on top, drizzle lightly with melted butter and bake. When serving, the soufflé must be removed from the molds. It is very healthy to eat this dish with vegetable puree.

5. Boiled tongue in jelly . A very nutritious dish, especially useful during the winter holidays. Suitable for all guests without exception.

Carefully separate the fresh fish fillet from the bones and skin and, together with the bread soaked in milk, pass it through a meat grinder with a fine grid twice, add fresh cream and beat thoroughly. The main criterion is that the knocked-out dumpling mass should be easily separated from the spoon. Then, from the prepared mass, cut the dumplings into dumplings, place them in a low saucepan, add a little water and boil under the lid for 5-6 minutes. Remove the finished quenelles from the water with a slotted spoon and serve with mashed potatoes.

7. Vegetables stewed in a pot . The easiest dish to prepare and at the same time a very interesting dish. As soon as you place the pot on the table, a warm, spiritual atmosphere is instantly created.

Then place the vegetables in the pot in layers in the following sequence: potatoes, then zucchini and, finally, carrots. Fill everything with sour cream diluted with a small amount of hot boiled water. Place the dish in a preheated oven and simmer until done.

8. Of course, I really want sweets all the time. On a holiday, two tablespoons delicious jam, two excellent chocolates will significantly improve your mood.

Place our mixture in a mold, greased with oil and sprinkled with ground breadcrumbs, and smooth the resulting surface. Cook in a water bath until done.

9. Alcohol after gallbladder removal. Can I use it?

Now let's talk about alcohol.

The standard recommendation is to completely avoid alcohol consumption in the first year of the postoperative period. What about the holidays?

Consequences of gallbladder removal. Postcholecystectomy syndrome

Hundreds of suppliers bring medicines for hepatitis C from India to Russia, but only IMMCO will help you buy sofosbuvir and daclatasvir (as well as velpatasvir and ledipasvir) from India at the best price and with an individual approach to each patient!

The gallbladder is involved in the process of digesting food. The pear-shaped organ is located under the liver. The main functions are the accumulation (deposit) and removal of fluid secreted by the liver. Bile helps digest fats in the body and activates the stomach.

Cholecystectomy – surgical. The entire organ is removed through surgery. Without it, people lead their usual lifestyle, following nutritional rules.

When functioning normally, the gallbladder plays an important role in the digestion of food. In the case of pathological processes occurring in the organ, it causes a lot of inconvenience: it worsens well-being and health. Symptoms appear:

• Stomach ache;
• Stool disorder;
• Nausea and vomiting;
• Increased body temperature, etc.

• Gallstone disease (GSD). Occurs with severe symptoms in the form of acute pain in the stomach, high fever, profuse vomiting.
• Acute cholecystitis. A person experiences a feeling of nausea, vomiting, increased body temperature, cramps in the abdomen, and bitterness in the mouth.
• Choledocholithiasis is a type of cholelithiasis.
• Education .

With these diagnoses, the patient requires surgical medical intervention. Modern medicine, when removing an organ, performs cholecystectomy using laparoscopy. The duration of the operation is from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. The surgical method allows you to perform an operation that reduces the time for rehabilitation after removal of the gallbladder and helps to avoid postoperative consequences.

Postoperative period

After the organ is removed, the patient is immediately transferred to the intensive care unit and given proper care. The patient should remain in the hospital until he recovers. Complications are possible with cholecystectomy. Today, the operation is performed laparoscopically, complications and undesirable consequences are minimized. For the first time (12-24 hours), you should not get out of bed, eat or drink. If you need to stand, you need to move with the assistance of medical personnel. After anesthesia, dizziness and fainting are possible. The recovery period lasts 7 days. After 10 days, if the patient’s condition is satisfactory, the patient is discharged.

The man who was cut out gallbladder, must follow the advice:

• Do not violate the dietary table, follow the diet. Healthy food, balanced diet menu– an important part in the body’s recovery process. The diet must be followed for life afterwards. The purpose of dietary nutrition is to stimulate the removal of bile from the body and stabilize metabolism. If the patient does not adhere to the doctor’s nutritional recommendations, attacks of cholecystitis are possible.
• Use of medications. Drug therapy helps a person adapt to living without a gallbladder. The patient is prescribed hepatoprotectors - a class of drugs that perform a protective function for the liver. Six months later, the body recovers after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
• Doing exercises. Massage exercises for the abdomen (two months). At first, you should do the exercises under the supervision of a doctor. It is recommended to limit it for a month physical activity.

Three important rules will help the body adapt to life after surgery, quickly improve well-being and normalize the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. Failure to comply with your doctor's instructions will negatively affect your health.

Diet after surgery

Nutrition after cholecystectomy is aimed at restoring metabolic processes in the body; food should be healthy and gentle on the stomach. Before preparing for surgery, it is important for a person to adjust to changes in the usual diet and restrictions in the first month.

Despite the restrictions, the food of a person with a removed gallbladder remains balanced. The body needs constant replenishment nutrients, useful microelements.

In order to competently approach the rehabilitation period and adaptation of the stomach after cholecystectomy, it is important to know which foods are allowed to be consumed and which are strictly prohibited.

The menu is allowed to include:

Fresh fruits and vegetables are prohibited. They provoke increased secretion of bile.

If you exclude the listed foods, you can avoid unpleasant consequences and complications. After a year, you can introduce some foods from the list of prohibited foods into your diet; a diet is used, scheduled by day. Nutrition is discussed with the attending physician.

• The essence of the problem
• Diet No. 5
• Patient reviews

The essence of the problem

Removal of the gallbladder or cholecystectomy is a fairly simple and quick operation that, as a rule, does not entail any serious complications.

The most common reasons for doing this are:

Gallstone disease, that is, the presence of stones in the cavity of the gallbladder.
- Choledocholithiasis or the presence of stones in the bile duct.
- Cholecystitis is an acute inflammation of the gallbladder.
- Pancreatitis is acute inflammation of the pancreas.

Among the main contraindications it is necessary to name such phenomena as:

Chronic bleeding disorder;
- dysfunction of the most important organs and systems;
- borderline state of the patient;
- advanced cholecystitis;
- acute peritonitis;
- pregnancy;
- acute infectious diseases;
- large abdominal hernia, etc.

This operation is performed under general anesthesia, which is administered intravenously. To actively assist the patient's breathing, a special tube is placed into the trachea. Next, the surgeon removes the diseased organ using an open method or through laparoscopy (that is, without an incision, but using modern optical instruments).

Possible complications include:

Postoperative bleeding, which can lead to reoperation;
- inflammation of an internal wound or sutures;
- bile leakage into the abdominal cavity;
- abscess of the subhepatic or subdiaphragmatic region, accompanied by fever and severe shortness of breath.

Since medicine in Russia is developing more and more every year, in most regions of our country cholecystectomy is performed laparoscopically. This approach significantly simplifies the procedure itself, and also avoids many complications and significantly speeds up the recovery process. In addition, another indisputable advantage of this method is the absence of long stitches and unsightly scars.

Nutrition rules after cholecystectomy

After surgery to remove the gallbladder, the patient should strictly follow a diet. To understand the necessity of this measure, it is necessary to objectively assess the consequences of cholecystectomy.

So, as a result of this procedure, the body irreversibly loses its natural capacity intended for the accumulation of bile. Consequently, further lifestyle, and most importantly nutrition, should prevent its stagnation in the excretory tract. Otherwise, stones will form again.

First you need to remember the series simple rules, mandatory compliance with which should form healthy eating habits in the patient. These include:

Maximum reduction of intervals between meals. It is recommended to eat at least 5 times a day.
- Strict adherence to the nutrition schedule.
- Reducing the volume of portions.
- Eating exclusively warm foods.
- Chewing food thoroughly.
- Complete refusal of spicy, fatty and fried foods.
- It is necessary to give preference to boiled, stewed or steamed dishes.
- Drink plenty of fluids.

As for products, experts advise people who have undergone cholecystectomy to consume:

Low-fat cottage cheese and sour cream;
- chicken eggs, soft-boiled or hard-boiled;
- beef, rabbit or poultry;
- sea fish;
- seasonal vegetables;
- cereals, etc.

Diet No. 5

Most often, after laparoscopy of the gallbladder, patients are prescribed the popular diet No. 5. It promotes the fastest recovery of the body after cholecystectomy.

According to the rules of this diet, the patient must exclude from his diet such foods as:

Fatty meat and fish;
- pork lard;
- smoked meats;
- all types of sausages;
- canned meat and fish;
- mushrooms;
- semolina;
- hot and sweet and sour marinades and sauces;
- onions and garlic;
- legumes (peas, beans, etc.);
- sweets;
- tea and coffee;
- alcohol;
- carbonated drinks, etc.

Warm soups prepared with meat, fish or vegetable broths;
- main courses of boiled chicken, rabbit or veal;
- buckwheat and oatmeal;
- boiled or baked fruits;
- stewed vegetables;
- fermented milk products, etc.

Basic rules of nutrition during the recovery period

After successful open cholecystectomy, the patient's hospital stay lasts no more than 1 week, and through laparoscopy - no more than 3 days.

Subject to compliance general rules, the recovery period is quite quick and painless. So, the patient must spend the first 2 hours after surgery in the intensive care ward, after which he is transferred to a regular ward. Further, for the next 5 hours the patient is prohibited from getting out of bed and drinking.

Drinking water is allowed starting in the morning of the next day. However, no more than 4-5 sips every half hour are allowed. After a day, you are allowed to eat. Gastroenterologists recommend watery oatmeal, kefir or light low-fat broth.

Gradually, porridge, mashed potatoes, pureed meat and fruits are introduced into the diet. Fluid intake is also normalized.

During the first week after cholecystectomy, patients are usually discharged home. In order to maximize nutrition rationalization, experts advise creating a detailed meal schedule. In general, it is recommended to eat at least 6-7 times a day, that is, every 2.5 hours. You should have dinner 2 hours before bedtime.

Special attention should be paid to fluid intake. In general, you need to drink at least 1.5 liters per day. Moreover, we are talking not only about ordinary water, but also about mineral water, as well as freshly squeezed juices and healing decoctions (for example, from rose hips).

As for food, you should give preference to warm pureed vegetable and meat dishes, refusing fresh juicy vegetables, berries and rye bread.

How to organize meals in the future

For successful recovery of the body in the first month after laparoscopy of the gallbladder, the patient must continue to monitor his diet. If you strictly follow all the instructions of the attending physician, the gastrointestinal tract will quickly adapt to new mode work.

As a rule, the patient still needs to avoid eating fatty, fried, smoked or spicy foods, as well as alcohol and smoking.

From the second week of staying at home, the gastroenterologist may prescribe diet No. 5a or No. 5sch. In essence, this is the same diet No. 5, but it is more delicate and involves cooking light dishes exclusively by steaming.

In the second month after cholecystectomy, the patient may be given some relief. In some cases, after consultation with your doctor, you may be allowed to return some favorite foods in small portions. In this case, the average amount of fluid consumed should be increased to 2 liters per day. To prevent all kinds of gastric disorders, it is recommended to take active enzyme preparations such as mezim or festal, as well as drink yoghurts containing natural probiotics.

In the third, fourth and subsequent months over the next 1.5 years after removal of the gallbladder, you should continue to strictly monitor your diet and, in general terms, adhere to diet No. 5 and its various modifications. In the second or third year, it is possible to switch to a softer system, provided for by diet No. 15. It involves the gradual inclusion in the diet of a number of new products that are not included in the limited menu No. 5.

To simplify their life as much as possible in the postoperative period, patients are advised to follow a diet according to a pre-prepared diet and cook according to special recipes.

The diet after removal of the gallbladder is strict during the first week, then the diet expands. But you need to be prepared to stick to proper nutrition will have to for the rest of my life. Give up some foods completely and love others. If you follow the recommendations of specialists, the digestive system will work smoothly, discomfort, painful sensations will not arise. Otherwise, disease of the pancreas, liver, and duodenum develops.

Surgery is stressful for the entire body. Removing the gallbladder disrupts the natural course of digestion; it will take time to force the gastrointestinal tract to work in a new way.

1. It is forbidden to eat or drink. Complete fasting is required. It is allowed to wet your lips with ordinary water, non-carbonated mineral water. At the end of the day, rinsing your mouth with herbal decoctions is allowed. Chamomile, lemon balm, and mint are often prescribed.
2. You are allowed to drink non-carbonated mineral water, regular spring water, and rosehip decoction without sugar. Drink no more than 1 liter per day. Otherwise, an increased outflow of bile begins, which is undesirable.
3. The diet is also strict, but you are already allowed to drink dried fruit compote - raisins, dried apricots, prunes, apples, pears, weak tea without added sugar, low-fat kefir. Allowed foods should be consumed every 3 hours. Portion 100 ml. The volume of liquid per day should be no more than 1.5 liters.
4. Fractional meals up to 8 times per day, serving no more than 200 g. Drink tea with sugar, pumpkin, apple, beet, and carrot juices. Prepare mashed potatoes and pureed soups in water with the addition of butter and sour cream. Low-fat boiled fish, fruit jelly, and omelette made exclusively from protein are allowed.
5. The diet is expanded with white stale bread, biscuits, crackers, and bagels. Portion – 100 g per day.
6. They eat porridge, boiled fish, chopped chicken, turkey, vegetable puree, low-fat cottage cheese, kefir, and homemade yogurt. Porridge is prepared from oatmeal, wheat, and buckwheat. Cook the dish in water or diluted milk. You can add a little sugar and butter.

The body does not recover in a week, but learns to work in a new way. In the future, you should adhere to a gentle diet so as not to burden the digestive tract, not to cause stagnation, as well as rapid movement of bile.

Diet for the fifth to seventh day

The principle of healthy nutrition involves the use of foods that are quickly digested, do not burden the gastrointestinal tract, do not cause stagnation or fermentation, and increase energy potential. You are allowed to eat vegetable puree, porridge, fermented milk products, lean fish, chicken, turkey, and rabbit.

The meat is prepared into rolls, cutlets, stewed or boiled, and then put through a meat grinder. Vegetables allowed are potatoes, onions, beets, carrots, zucchini, and pumpkin. Vegetable dishes are steamed, baked, stewed, then chopped. Among the sweets, baked apples, pumpkin porridge, cottage cheese with dried fruits are allowed. To prepare porridges, choose crushed buckwheat and oatmeal. An easy-to-prepare dish - pour boiled water over oatmeal, add a little salt, add a spoonful of sugar, and a piece of butter. Let it brew for 5 minutes.

The best drink to drink is rosehip decoction. It cooks very quickly. Pour water over the fruits, boil over low heat for 5 minutes, leave for half an hour. You should drink warm, 0.5 cups up to 3 times a day. Mineral still water, weak green, black tea. You will have to give up coffee.

Fermented milk products improve the condition of the gastrointestinal tract and speed up digestion. It is recommended to consume low-fat homemade products - sour cream, kefir, yogurt, boiled milk diluted with water, yogurt, cottage cheese.

Nutrition from the eighth day

After a week, they switch to a gentle diet. Its principles are to ensure the normal functioning of the digestive tract. The body receives all the necessary nutritional components, quickly processes food, and maintains metabolic processes in a normal rhythm. The liver produces bile in sufficient quantities and enters the small intestine in a normal manner.

You should eat small portions up to 6 times a day. Avoid overeating and prolonged fasting. After the meal you should still feel a slight feeling of hunger. It is recommended to drink drinks 20 minutes after eating food. Otherwise, the digestion process slows down.

Dishes should be steamed, baked, stewed, boiled, but it is not necessary to chop them or grind them through a meat grinder, you just need to chew them thoroughly. Eat warm. Too hot or cold is prohibited. The reason is still the same - slow digestion, increased stomach acidity.

This behavior is not allowed, since poor nutrition leads to pathological processes and health problems over time. Following a diet is the key to good health while living without a gallbladder.

You only need to follow strict instructions for the first 30 days, when the body is recovering after surgery. There are no special restrictions in the future, you just need to eat right.

Gallbladder 08/07/2016

Dear readers, today I want to return to a very current topic nutrition after gallbladder removal, despite the fact that there is a lot of material on the blog dedicated to this very issue. The fact is that they still write to me and ask questions, because this is very important for people who have undergone surgery, since nutrition and diet are the most important factor in the recovery period after removal of the gallbladder.

In the comments to articles on the topic of gallbladder removal, people ask their questions, which Evgeniy answers competently and clearly. And I decided to cover the main aspects of nutrition after removal of the gallbladder, as well as collect the doctor’s answers to your questions in one article. Thus, each of you, dear readers, will be able to obtain the most complete information on all issues related to diet and behavior after surgery to remove the gallbladder.

Is it necessary to remove the gallbladder?

First, let's talk a little about whether the gallbladder needs to be removed. This question, I am sure, worries everyone who, based on the results of the examination, has been diagnosed - cholelithiasis. The upcoming operation cannot but frighten, this is a normal reaction of any person, and of course, many begin to look for alternative methods of treatment, such as crushing stones or dissolving them with the help of medications.

Crushing stones is not a safe procedure, therefore it is indicated for a very limited number of patients, and is not used often. An article is devoted to this method, which you can read if you wish.

Dissolution medicines Not all stones are susceptible, only cholesterol stones. In addition, the effectiveness of this method is determined by many factors, such as the size of the stones, their location, the absence of an inflammatory process, etc. Evgeny Snegir wrote about all this in detail in one of his articles

Therefore, you need to trust your doctor and understand that stones pose a constant threat of inflammation of the gallbladder and the development of obstructive jaundice, when a stone gets stuck in the bile duct, and this is already a threat to life.

Therefore, it is more correct to perform the operation as planned, when there is no pain, without waiting for serious complications.

Moreover, instead of abdominal surgery, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is now most often performed; this operation makes it possible to reduce the length of hospital stay and minimize possible complications and, just as importantly, less traumatic.

Why do you need a diet after gallbladder removal?

But you finally made up your mind, and your gallbladder was removed, giving fairly general recommendations to stick to a diet for the rest of your life. Is this true?

First of all, you need to understand that everything in the body functions the same as before the operation and liver cells produce bile necessary for normal digestion and cleansing the body of toxins. But if you have a gallbladder, bile accumulates in it and periodically passes into the intestine, and after cholecystectomy, bile constantly flows into the intestine through the bile ducts. Therefore, a certain diet is required that protects the intestines and does not provoke stagnation and increased secretion of bile.

A strict diet is only needed for a certain period after surgery. Over time, the functions of the gallbladder are taken over by the intrahepatic ducts and the common bile duct, and during the normal course of the postoperative period, stagnation of bile does not occur, which allows a person to refuse strict diet and switch to a normal diet with minor restrictions. This usually occurs one year after the gallbladder is removed.

Now let's talk about dietary nutrition, which allows the body to adapt to living conditions without a gallbladder and which is the basis for maintaining good health. What can you eat immediately after surgery and during the first month to one and a half months after removal of the gallbladder?

Diet and nutrition in the first days after surgery to remove the gallbladder up to 1.5 months

From three days to a week After the operation, a person spends in a hospital under the supervision of medical staff and his nutrition is organized according to all the rules of the necessary diet, but after discharge from the hospital, many questions regarding nutrition usually arise, which we will try to answer today.

The main task in the postoperative period is to prevent stagnation of bile, diluting it with plenty of divided drinks and eating small portions 6 - 7 times a day. It is important to establish a diet by eating at the same time, chewing food thoroughly, and drinking at least 1.5 liters per day in small portions.

For 3 – 5 days You are allowed to drink unsweetened natural juices (apple, beetroot), fruit jelly, mashed potatoes, and slightly sweetened tea. You can already eat a little vegetable soup pureed through a sieve and a vegetable omelette.

On day 5 It is already allowed to add dried white bread to your diet, but not more than 100 grams per day.

On 6 – 7 days You can eat pureed liquid porridge, pureed vegetable soups, unsweetened and low-fat cottage cheese, fermented milk products, lean boiled minced meat, boiled fish, mashed potatoes, egg whites. It is already allowed to add dried white bread to your diet, but not more than 100 grams per day. Do not forget that nutrition and fluid intake are fractional and in small portions, this is very important.

You can drink rosehip decoction, still mineral water, which is recommended by your doctor, dried fruit jelly, sweetened tea, and natural fruit and vegetable juices. The volume of liquid can be increased to 2 liters.

From 8–10 days to 1.5 months you need to continue to follow a gentle diet, all dishes should be boiled or steamed. These can be steamed cutlets, boiled meat and fish, meatballs, meatballs, souffles, milk soups and vegetable broth soups, cottage cheese puddings, casseroles, viscous milk porridges, pureed boiled vegetables, jelly, non-acidic juices. Don’t forget about fermented milk products, which are simply necessary for the intestines. And be sure to drink water, maybe mineral water, I repeat, in consultation with your doctor.

Fresh vegetables and fruits are strictly prohibited, as they promote bile secretion. Rye bread is also excluded; you can only eat white bread and it must be dried or yesterday’s baked bread. Dishes should be neither cold nor hot.

You can read more about nutrition in the first days after surgery and in the first month after surgery in the article

Diet No. 5, nutrition after removal of the gallbladder from 1.5 months to a year. Recipes. Menu

In the postoperative period, when 1.5 months have passed after removal of the gallbladder, main task is to eat food that does not irritate the digestive tract and helps dilute the bile. Diet No. 5 fully meets these criteria, which you should adhere to.

The main restrictions during this period are everything spicy, fatty and fried.

And if the recovery period goes well, there is no pain or other unpleasant sensations, then the diet can be gradually expanded, but within the recommended diet, still avoiding foods that are strictly prohibited.

It is necessary to exclude from the diet:

• fatty meats (pork, goose, duck),
• fatty fish,
• meat broths,
• salo,
• sausages,
• smoked meats,
• canned foods,
• salted fish,
• offal,
• caviar,
• mushrooms,
• onion, garlic,
• legumes,
• radish, radish, sorrel, spinach,
• mustard, horseradish, pepper and other hot seasonings,
• fresh bread, pastries with cream and pastries,
• fatty dairy products,
• chocolate,
• ice cream,
• cold drinks,
• strong coffee, cocoa,
• alcohol.

The basis of the diet should be milk and vegetable soups with the addition of various cereals, crumbly porridge, boiled or steamed lean fish and meat (beef, chicken, turkey), chicken eggs, but no more than one per day. Include dairy products in your diet every day, cook cottage cheese casseroles, drink kefir, fermented baked milk and fermented milk products enriched with bifidobacteria. As a side dish you can cook boiled potatoes, pasta, vegetable stew, cereals with the addition of a small amount of vegetable oil.

You can already afford desserts in the form of marshmallows, marshmallows, marmalade, you can also have a little honey, jam or homemade jam for tea. You can eat dried apricots and prunes, but in small quantities.

Fresh vegetables and fruits after gallbladder removal

1.5 months after the operation, you can already diversify your diet with fresh vegetables and fruits, gradually accustoming your digestive tract to them. At first fresh vegetables introduce into the diet in crushed form, no more than 100 - 150 grams before meals. This could be carrots, zucchini, celery, small quantities of sauerkraut, tomatoes. At first, remove the skin from the tomatoes. You can add any non-acidic fruits; peel the apples.

Avoid sour varieties of apples, citrus fruits, and currants; give preference to sweet fruits and berries with delicate pulp. Watermelons are very useful, but it is better not to eat melon during the first year after surgery, it is a rather difficult product to digest.

So, let’s summarize: we exclude forbidden foods from the diet, everything fatty, fried, spicy, we take food warm, in no case hot or cold. We take food 4–5 times a day in small portions, the daily amount of liquid consumed is from 1.5 to 2 liters.

And one more very important condition: introduce new foods into your diet gradually, in small portions, carefully listening to your body’s reaction. And if some product causes you pain or discomfort in the form of bloating, belching, heartburn, it is better to give it up for now or reduce the portion. Even healthy people tolerate different foods differently, and after removal of the gallbladder you need to be very careful about your body.

What menu should you create for this time? The blog has two very detailed articles with recipes and recommended menus for this time. All recipes are described in great detail, there are quite a lot of them, you will be convinced that even dietary food can be tasty and varied. These are the articles:

Alcohol after gallbladder removal

Very often people wonder if they can afford a little on holiday alcoholic drinks. If you do not want to harm yourself, then listen to the advice of nutritionists and give up alcohol for one year after surgery. Only as an exception, 1.5 months after surgery, you can occasionally drink no more than one glass of dry or semi-dry wine on a holiday. Strong drinks under the strictest ban.

What can you eat on holidays?

It is much more difficult when you are invited to visit, then you will have to choose, avoiding prohibited foods if possible. You shouldn’t risk your health, especially since in a year you will be able to eat nutritiously without any special restrictions. Just give your body time to learn how to function without your gallbladder.

Diet and nutrition after gallbladder removal in questions and answers

Dear readers, there are so many questions from readers on the blog, so many comments. And doctor Evgeniy Snegir, author of the blog, is always in touch with us Medicine for the soul Evgeniy, once again I want to thank you for such work. No comment goes unanswered.

And the questions usually start like this: “Is it possible after surgery after removing the gallbladder”..., and then comes the question - who cares? I tried to collect in one place the main questions and answers of doctor Evgeniy. I would like to hope that the structure of the answers and questions will be clear to you.

Meat, fish products, eggs

Is it possible to eat meat broth soups after being discharged from the hospital?

In the first 1.5 months after the operation, it is better to eat vegetarian soups, but if you occasionally cook soups with weak meat broth, then there will not be much crime.

Counter enemas also help: insert 100 ml of boiled water at room temperature with a rubber bulb into the rectum before going to the toilet; you can add one tablespoon of vegetable oil to the water.
