Gallbladder issues

[Migity02 0]

Very new here and expecting to have the gastric sleeve procedure done in the next two months.

I had my gallbladder removed almost 3 years ago and have good and bad days with that. I've learned that the longer I wait between meals/snacks the worse off I will be that day regarding an upset stomach. For me it has nothing to do with what I've eaten, just duration between meals.

My question is this - Is there a way around eating 3 planned meals a day to be successful or is that the most proven method?

I fear if I do this I will have terrible issues with excess bile. I also work a job (air traffic control) that does not allow me to get up and run to the restroom as I need to.

Thanks for any and all input. Especially from those that may have the same issues.

I was told to eat three meals and two Snacks. Will that work?

For me to get in all my Protein I have to eat 5 small meals a day. I'm 8 weeks out and down 32 lbs. I have some if the same issues since my gallbladder was removed but so far I have been good. I don't eat a lot and sometimes I'm not hungry so I need to eat smaller meals to hit my goals. Talk to your dr and nutritionist to see what they say as well.
