Basic nutrition after gallbladder removal
Such an operation does not mean at all that the production of bile has stopped. The liver still produces it, since it is vital for the complete breakdown of food. But now, due to the lack of an organ necessary for its intake, this substance will enter directly into the intestines, therefore, a corrective diet cannot be dispensed with.
A diet after cholecystectomy should help achieve these goals:
- digestion;
- prevention of re-occurrence of stone formations;
- minimizing the likelihood of gas formation, constipation.
Improper eating habits prevent the body from recovering and exacerbate an already difficult condition.
Features of the diet during the recovery period
Important principles of nutrition:
- Frequent meals in small portions are the foundation of all the basics. People who are used to eating large meals three times a day will have to change their habits and start eating more often.
- Meals should be regular, they should not be skipped.And also it is not recommended to eat right before bedtime: you need to have dinner at least 2.5 hours before the end of the night. Evening meal should be easy and not overload the digestive tract.
- Alcohol is under the strictest ban. Such drinks are very stressful to the liver, and toxic substances adversely affect its functioning.
- It is advisable that the food is steamed. Dishes should have a crushed consistency: this will help facilitate the work of the digestive tract. Therefore, priority is given to liquid dishes, mashed potatoes and soufflés.
- Food should be taken only pleasantly warm so that it does not irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa.
At first, nutrition after surgery to remove the gallbladder should be as gentle as possible. During the first 6 hours you should not drink at all, then you can take a couple of sips of clean water and repeat this after a third of an hour.
On the first day, you can drink up to half a liter of water maximum.
The next day you can drink as usual, but eat it is worth starting at least after 12-15 hours after surgery. Of the dishes allowed for 2 days, it is worth mentioning a light vegetable broth, cottage cheese with a minimum percentage of fat content, mashed boiled chicken fillet.
The medical diet in the first one and a half weeks after surgery looks like this:
- 72 hours after the operation, you can eat half a serving of mashed potatoes in water or a liquid soup of vegetables. Of the drinks allowed water, sour fruit drinks, lightly brewed black tea.
- On the 5th day it is allowed to enter a couple of slices of stale bread on the menu.
- Starting from the end of the first week, you can start to eat in small portions mashed viscous cereals, steamed fish, boiled chicken, low-fat cottage cheese, vegetable purees. It is also allowed to supplement the menu with kissels.
- From the beginning of the second week, you can expand the diet with a steam patty or meatballs, mashed first courses, cottage cheese casseroles.
The first 7 weeks require a particularly careful approach to menu design and food intake.
