The gallbladder is an organ of the human body, and it is not an organ that must exist to survive. Therefore, cholecystectomy will be performed for some gallbladder diseases. Bile in the gallbladder plays an important role in the digestion and absorption of fat and fat soluble vitamins. But bile is not produced by the gallbladder. The main function of the gallbladder is to concentrate and store bile. When people are eating, the gallbladder will secrete bile into the duodenum through the bile duct to help people digest fat.
So, although the gallbladder is removed, bile is produced by hepatocytes every day. It's just that there may be bile coming into the duodenum at any time, not just when you're eating.
So after cholecystectomy, you can still eat oil, which is the food containing fat.
It is suggested to pay attention to the following aspects in diet after operation:
1. Reduce the intake of fatty food within 1 month after operation, and fast high-fat food and fried food.
Especially in a short time to digest a large amount of fat food, prone to abdominal distention, diarrhea and indigestion. Reducing the intake of fat mainly refers to not eating or eating fat meat, animal offal, egg yolk and fried food as little as possible, cooking and using animal oil as little as possible, and increasing vegetable oil in proper amount. Dishes should be mainly steamed, stewed and cold mixed, especially spicy and irritant food should be avoided, and alcohol should be stopped, so as to reduce the adverse stimulation to the biliary tract.
2. Gradually strengthen nutrition.
After 1 month of cholecystectomy, the diet should not be too light. Necessary nutrition supplement will help the patients recover as soon as possible.
3. High quality protein should be supplemented.
Sufficient protein supplement is conducive to the repair of liver cell damage caused by cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. You can choose low-fat high-quality protein mainly including fish, shrimp, poultry, tofu and bean products with less oil, such as a glass of milk is better.
4. Coarse grains are more suitable and more foods with high dietary fiber are used.
Including corn, millet, sweet potato, oats and other coarse grains to promote bile excretion.
5. Increase the number of meals properly.
4 meals per day was the best 3-6 months after operation. Eat less and eat more can reduce the burden of digestive system, which is conducive to the recovery of health after surgery; vinegar can enhance the digestive capacity of the stomach, but also adjust the acid-base in the intestinal tract, which is conducive to the role of bile, promote the digestion of fatty food. Often drink tea, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables also help food digestion and absorption.
6. Control calorie loss and weight loss, and control the total amount of food consumption. Each meal should be full (especially dinner).
