Life after gallbladder surgery

Here are some key recommendations to help maintain your health and prevent new stones from forming after gallbladder-preserving surgery:

Diet

  • During the first week after surgery, follow a light diet of low-fat foods, vegetable broths, and lean proteins.
  • After two weeks, you can gradually return to your normal balanced diet, including fatty foods 2-3 times per week.
  • Limit coffee and alcohol. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

Lifestyle

  • Try to maintain a regular sleep-wake schedule, manage stress, and stay positive.
  • Include some physical activities such as walking, swimming, exercise, or yoga to stay healthy.

Medication

  • For the first two months after surgery, you will need to take choleretic medications as prescribed by your doctor.

Regular Check-ups

  • We recommend a follow-up ultrasound two months after surgery, as well as after six months and one year.
