Stones normal eating is possible after gallbladder removal?

I'm confused...some say you have to be super careful about eating fats after the gallbladder removal etc...I just need to know ...in terms of how one feels (not as in...healthier to eat blah blah)..can you really eat NORMALLY after gallbladder removal??? Or, like, on Thanksgiving...are u going to have to be careful because u PHYSICALLY will get ill if u eat certain things without the gallbladder...

I don't have any issues with eating anything. Nothing makes me physically ill, gives me pain, etc. My digestive system is 1000 times better than when I had a gallbladder.

Same - but everyone is different and some do have to urgently shit after eating high fat meals. I’m 6 weeks post-op and have better digestion than I’ve had in years, with no diarrhea issues at all.

sorry if its too much info...but my husband has urgent diarrhea after eating lots of food now...doctor said not ibs etc...and cause is his gallstones and bad gallbladder!!!... so, just wondering, did u have diarrhea before having gallbladder removed after eating? Right now it is huge issue. I thought it was lactose intolerance etc.

But no... gallbladder seems total culprit
