Frequently Asked Questions
What are some good low-fat meals to eat after gallbladder removal surgery?
Top gentle dinners include baked lemon-herb cod with rice, slow-cooker chicken and vegetable soup, lean ground turkey marinara over pasta, and skinless chicken breast roasted with sweet potatoes and green beans.
How do you break down fat if you don't have a gallbladder?
Your liver continues to make bile and drips it steadily through the common bile duct into your small intestine. Eating smaller, more frequent meals with 3–6g of fat allows that steady trickle of bile to emulsify fats comfortably.
