Before I start, I just want to apologize to this forum and to the mods for starting a thread when I was super drunk around last week. I still feel embarrassed about the stuff I wrote and I was so glad to see it completely removed when I woke up the following day. Lesson learned. I'm trying my best to stop the drinking but it's tough. I'm addicted. Anyways, that's all I wanted to say about that.
In relation to the thread title, basically my father had his gallbladder removed some time last year and ever since then he's been on a high carb diet and has been told by his primary care physician to avoid fatty foods.
I've been doing some research on this by myself and here's the best quote I found that sums up what I've found so far:
So it seems he may be able to get on a high fat diet and still be okay more or less minus some side effects due to gallbladder removal.
I'm making this thread because he's been on a really poor high carb/junk food diet for many years now an is still under the impression that "food is food" whether it's something healthy or if its mcdonalds. I mean... he "gets" that he should be eating better but doesn't seem to care much about what he ingests (I know I sound like a hypocrite after the stunt I pulled last week when I was drunk... I'm trying my best to overcome these obstacles and start living healthy). Well I care a lot about his health. He recently turned 60 and I worry about his health deteriorating over the years and even more so with an excised gallbladder and I am starting to understand the importance diet plays in all this.
So I'm trying to do my homework and also network with his doctor the best way I can about what kind of diet he should be following. I also wanted to ask this forum about whether he can consume mostly saturated fats or follow a keto diet, etc.
As usual I probably shared too much so my apologies for that.
tl;dr - Father had gallbladder removed. What kind of diet and health protocol can he follow to optimize his health without causing any serious injury due to excised gallbladder.
Thanks for reading.

There's no standard diet that people should follow after gallbladder removal surgery. In general, it's best to avoid fatty, greasy, processed, and sugary foods. Eating these foods after having your gallbladder removed won't cause serious health problems, but it can lead to a lot of painful gas, bloating, and diarrhea.
