[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2034904, member: 480869"] Higher fats may aggravate existing gallstones as the gallbladder is being made to do its job and squeeze bile out and the stones get squeezed too. It’s likely that low fat eating and not using the gallbladder much contributed to stones in the first place as the bile sits statically as sludge. The body sometimes enlarges a duct that acts as a pseudo gallbladder storing a little bile. Perhaps if your gallbladder is useless and only causing pain, infection and problems you’d be better without it. Maybe this needs to be reviewed and your previous op considered. I’d find it more than a little odd that opening ducts (I’m assuming that’s what was done although it sounds unusual) prohibits entirely the removal of the organ no matter what state it’s in. Was it explained how and why your health would suffer if they did it or was that a sweeping unqualified statement? Most people (including me) do just fine without one and can still do higher fat than current widely recommended with no ill effects at all. It just takes a little time post op to adjust and very slowly increase fat levels whilst allowing your body to adjust bile production (not storage) to the levels required by diet. It’s very clever and usually manages. If you want, ethically, to stick to vegan other than chicken or fish and low carb then it’s going to be narrow choices especially if you have other limiting factors. Perhaps a middle ground is avoiding red meats (though no real medical reason to do so) and eating well sourced dairy and eggs along with the chicken and fish you already eat. Eating almost no fats and almost no carbs means and low protein means no energy and probably a lack of nutrients overall. Not sustainable without damaging your health. [/QUOTE]
