    You usually have a nutritionist when you have gastric bypass done. Please, please consult with them. If your doctor did not have you go to a nutritionist, before & after the surgery, you can be headed for some serious problems. My cousin had this surgery, & she said the nutritionist has helped her more than anything else! Maewest

    The culprit in cholecystitis/biliary colic(”bad gallbladder”) is fat.The bile from the gallbladder emulsifies fat into tiny particles that can be absorbed by the intestine. So,to avoid attacks,eat a low fat diet. Some people also have difficulty with fiber. In this case,with the factor of the bariatric surgery added in,I think consulting a physician and dietitian would be wise. barbara

    I lost most of my stomach in a car accident. three years later
    my galbladder almost exploded. Eventually it was removed.
    Id he schedualed for surgery.
    I personally ate some baby food. especially the fruits.
    Avoid fats. Meats are very hard to disgest. Yogert is good, it goes down easy and isn’t hard to digest. YOu best talk to his doctor.
    It sounds like the galbladder needs to be removed clcalifornia

    I had a compacted gallbladder(full of stones)is his?If so he needs to have it removed period..the gallbladder I was told filters all the fat and toxic stuff that goes through our body so ANY fatty foods will definitely cause an attack and they are so pain full,almost as bad as the worst contraction I had before I gave birth to my son ouch!!Maybe something like a drink called Insure it is kind of pricey but gives full vitamins that the body needs made especially for lactose intolerant most grocery stores sell them just ask.good luck!!Oh yeah by the way if you did have the gallbladder removed it is painless and quick they put you to sleep and now they can make a cut about the size of a quarter long and thin width wise too. I can barely see mine.If you do go on a diet remember no fatty foods and a liquid diet might just be the answer.for now LOVIN69IN619

    Yes and no….
    If someone is on a liquid diet, the moment they eat anything greasy it can cause a gallbladder attack.

    On the other hand, if someone is having gallbladder problems, water can help push everything through the system.

    It is a no-win situation. If a person has gallbladder problems, they should NOT eat a lot of fat. gg
