Gull bladder removed. What is best to ingest besides water? What is best to leave alone?

Really you don't have to change your diet after the first few days. Avoid fatty foods, eat small frequent meals, plenty of non caffeine fluids.
You will feel better then you have for a long time. You won't miss your gall bladder.

I agree. I haven't missed mine at all. I'm sure it must have done wonderful things when it was functioning properly, but its absence has been totally unremarkable.

I felt better eating whole foods (vegetables, fruit, grains and lean meat) and thought they would help me recover from the operation and anaesthetic. The Healthy Eating Pyramid shows the type and proportion of food we should eat daily for good health.

Some foods made me feel sick -

Fast Food (Junk Food) - Hot chips (fries?), Pizza, Fried Chicken, Battered Fried Fish
Crisps?

Cashews, Macadamia, Brazil Nuts (Almonds in small quantities were OK)
Full fat cream, milk, yoghurt + butter, too much cheese
Fatty sauces/gravy, Salad Dressing (oily)
Cakes and Biscuits (cookies?) and Crackers ?

Doing pretty well. Hopefully the ill days are over.
Lots of itchiness, so must be healing OK.

Surprisingly, stir fry of all types are fine. YUM
Stews, chilli, soups, ALL JUST GREAT
Peanut butter/ bread & butter pickle sandwich, midnight snack. JUST FINE.
An apple each day. FINE
Try not to do hamburger.
Fried shrimp with cocktail sauce, NOT.
Hot fudge sundays, NOT.

Glad to hear that your recovery is going well Robert! Pity about the hot fudge sundaes though!
