Foods that contain high fats should be avoided for faster recovery from gall bladder surgery. High fat foods place more burdens on the digestive system.

After the surgery the system releases constant level of bile whereas for digesting high fat foods the digestive system requires more bile than the normal level.

Avoiding such foods would expedite your recovery from gall bladder surgery. During the initial days only liquid foods are recommended, particularly on the day of the operation.

It is because the liquid foods do not load the digestive system more. Some patients may experience nausea if liquid foods are taken. Recovery from gall bladder surgery is faster if you have opted for a laproscopic gall bladder surgery.

Only one or two days of hospitalization are required for laproscopic method of gall bladder removal. In the conventional methods of surgery the recovery from gall bladder surgery takes 6 to 8 weeks.

Gas pain caused in the abdomen is also found in some patients. This is due to the residual carbon dioxide moving inside the body. Loose stools are an outcome of the gall bladder removal surgery.
