Any operation, even the most insignificant, requires changes in the lifestyle of the patient and most often in nutrition. And if the gall bladder hurts , and you have to agree to surgical intervention - even more so. Its removal is possible for a number of reasons, the most common of which is the presence of stones.
Stones can form for various reasons: this is improper nutrition, and a sedentary lifestyle, and stagnation of bile caused by congenital causes. But, one way or another, everything is done, and now you need to seriously review your own style and lifestyle.
The diet after surgery to remove the gallbladder, unfortunately, is quite strict, but it will have to be followed: it is it that represents the most important of the stages of rehabilitation of the body. Neglecting it can cause not only pain, but also much more serious consequences. Doctors advise the so-called treatment table No. 5, which consists of a specific set of products, and also dictates strictly chosen methods for their preparation. What is it?
The diet after surgery on the gallbladder is supervised by several important principles that must be observed constantly. Firstly, you need to eat only in small portions (no more than two hundred grams each time), so you will have to eat often (about six times a day). In addition, at first you only need to eat mashed foods, that is, for about a month do not eat anything solid and consisting of large pieces and particles. Secondly, food should always be warmed up: you can’t eat either too hot or cold food, this can cause negative consequences for the patient. Thirdly, the diet after surgery to remove the gallbladder dictates the use of only low-fat food. This is low-fat fish, chicken and lean meat. In addition, you can’t eat everything that is harmful to the liver: fatty, fried, baked, salted, canned, smoked, eggs, strawberries, tomatoes (both fresh and pickled), hot seasonings, all kinds of cakes and pastries. And, of course, everything related to nutrition is better to coordinate with your doctor so that there are no dark spots in this matter.
The diet after surgery to remove the gallbladder begins to be observed back in the hospital, when food is introduced into the diet gradually, in stages, in a sparing mode. These are mashed cereals, soup, jelly, dairy products, mineral waters, medicinal decoctions.
The usual menu that the diet dictates after the operation to remove the gallbladder prescribes the following meals: first breakfast (steam omelet made of proteins, porridge without sugar, tea or weak coffee with milk), second breakfast (baked apple, a slice of low-fat cheese), lunch ( vegetable or diet soup, steamed cutlet, mashed potatoes, compote or weak tea), dinner (boiled fish, mashed potatoes), kefir before bedtime.
It is the observance of the prescribed diet that contributes to the normal digestion and assimilation of food. Everything that goes beyond the diet can cause cramping and severe pain, nausea, bloating, and bitterness in the mouth. Therefore, it is better not to experiment with food and obey a doctor.
