I'm sure your dr. told you to stick to a low-fat/no-fat diet..which means, about the only thing you can eat would be a small amount of fruit, popsicles, jello, crackers, toast (w/ minimal butter as the only topping). Basically anything that isn't greasy or fried (as well as the known fatty foods). I had my gallbladder taken out back in june of this year...it's not fun being on a brat diet so to speak, but I tell you this, if you've gained some weight that you wanna loose, this is your opportunity!!! Good luck w/ the surgery! (vicodin will be your friend for the first couple of days----trust me!)

Do not eat greasy foods. No processed food or no powders like coffee whitener, chocolate milk mix, hot chocolate, etc. No fast food.
You can eat a Sub with turkey and some veggies but no dressing or anything spicy on it. The best thing to eat is soups and whole wheat toast (use margarine with no trans fat).
Eat smaller portions of food all through the day. The blandest, lowest fat food you can possibly think of is the best for you. I know it is not very tasty but it's better than suffering an attack. It is also very important to drink lots and lots of water.
I hope you get your surgery soon. I've been there and life is sooooo gooooood after the surgery!

I wouldn't eat anything because then you won't be able to have the operation. It takes the body to long to digest food. If your cautious then eat a bland diet.

I knew someone else who had this problem. I think that she avoided all ruffage like salads. I would stay away from greasy foods as well.

the guy cutting your gall bladder out should be giving you advice, or are you in one of those drive-thru HMOs where you get your gall bladder removed without leaving your car?
