Gallbladder and Diet

Foods to Avoid

While your body adjusts, it's a good idea to avoid high-fat foods for a few weeks after having gallbladder surgery.

High-fat foods include:

• Foods that are fried, like French fries and potato chips
• High-fat meats, such as bacon, bologna, sausage, ground beef, and ribs
• High-fat dairy products, such as cheese, ice cream, cream, whole milk, and sour cream
• Pizza
• Foods made with lard or butter
• Creamy soups or sauces
• Meat gravies
• Chocolate
• Oils, such as palm and coconut oil
• Skin of chicken or turkey

High-fiber and gas-producing foods can also cause some people discomfort after gallbladder surgery, so you may want to introduce them slowly back into your diet

These include:

• Cereals
• Whole-grain breads
• Nuts
• Seeds
• Legumes
• Brussels sprouts
• Broccoli
• Cauliflower
• Cabbage

Spicy foods may also cause some gastrointestinal symptoms for a short time after gallbladder removal.
