The gallbladder is an organ that helps the body to have a perfect digesting process, so the idea of surgically removing it, should not be taken lightly, as post gallbladder surgery is not without complications. The gallbladder stores the bile that the liver produces. Most people are not aware of how important the gallbladder is to our body. The main job of the gallbladder is to store the bile from the liver, and, at every meal, to release it into the small intestines. The bile that was given to the small intestines helps in the digestion of fats.
Gallbladder surgery is one of the most complicated kinds of medical procedures. It is done to remove gallstones from the body. Gallstones 
[choleithiasis] are small hard masses that consist primarily of cholesterol and bile salts, that form in the gallbladder, or in the bile duct. These stones may block the flow of bile, and that may cause the liver to swell and create a painful feeling, vomiting, fever and indigestion.
Do you need to be in post gallbladder surgery ?
Gallstone do not go away by themselves. Some may not be that dangerous to the patient, who may only need medical prescriptions of tablets which dissolve gallstones.
Another nonsurgical option is laser of the gallstones, where laser waves break up the stones into tiny pieces, which the body could eliminate naturally.
If your doctor does not think that you are a candidate for laser, then the next less invasive procedure is laparoscopic removal of the stones, by only making small incisions over the area.
But, if the gallbladder is inflamed beyond help by medication, ruptured, or diseased, then the only option may be gallbladder removal, but one must be aware that post gallbladder surgery may not be the easy time that is often depicted: Four out of ten people have side-efects in post gallbladder surgery, ranging from nausea, to diarrhea, to intense pain from the bile becoming thick, due to the burden placed on the liver.
Post gallbladder surgery diet
Patients who have undergone gallbladder removal should need to undergo a strict, post gallbladder surgery. Diet could be one of the main factors that could make the recovery fast and effective.
Since the gallbladder has been removed, there will be some dietary restrictions that a patient should take; this is for the digestive system to get used of having the absence of gallbladder functions to the body. Once the gallbladder is taken out from the body, it is very difficult for the body to dissolve fats, and that is the reason why a fat free or oil free diet is recommended for post gallbladder surgery. However, coldpressed, unheated oils must be eaten, or else one will have deficiency in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Ask your doctor what amount of these oils you are allowed daily. Coldpressed olive oil has the effect of fluidifying the bile, and this may prevent thickening of sluggish bile, post gallbladder surgery.
Post gallbladder surgery diet should have no intake of processed foods, which contain heated oils and fats. Foods that are rich with omega 3 fatty acids are very good to have for good blood flow throughout the body.

When eating poultry and fish, they should always be grilled or steamed without the skin, and no added oil or fats applied.
Drinking a lot of water is very essential.
Post gallbladder surgery diet should not have foods that are high in sugar and preservatives.
Eggs, pork, organ meats, cold cut meats, fried foods, greasy foods, red meat, coffee, and roasted nuts should be avoided.
One should remember that in post gallbladder surgery, one needs to avoid over eating. But one should also not be ‘on diet to lose weight’ , as it will create a huge effect in lessening the immune system that is very important against infections.
Regular exercise should be practiced, to fluidify all the fluids within the body.
