Dear Patient:

Hello, it depends on the results of your surgery, however, some say, "You can usually start eating normally a few hours after your operation, although you'll probably prefer to eat small meals to start with." Reference:

The benefit of having gall bladder surgery is that you should be able to eat anything that contains fat again. That being said, I don't think you want to push it right after surgery. I would recommend eating fruit for breakfast and then start adding back other foods that may contain more fat. If eating foods that contain fat causes the same pain you had prior to surgery, then contact your doctor or surgeon.

I typically recommend avoiding fatty, greasy, and oily foods immediately after surgery. Occasionally, patients will also say they have some discomfort with dairy foods. These symptoms almost always resolve after you recover.
