Actually, I drink over 64 oz of water every day and have for years, and I still have gall bladder "sludge" which may be turning into stones. Eating the right fats is so important, which is hard for me because I love organic unsweetened chocolate! My doctor also said to stay away from carbonated beverages, alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, butter, almond butter/peanut butter and coconut oil. And I said, "Just shoot me!" If you google "fats to eat for gallbladder disease" or something like that, it will guide you.
Please tell me where you found the dietary information that you talk about. My wife is suffering horribly from weight gain, etc. No one seems to address this diet planning but you. We have tried. Please send me any links you may have. I sincerely appreciate any help. I thank you In advance for your time and consideration.

I had my gallbladder out in August of 2016. I feel like a new person! I walk dauly, changed how I prepare my food, what I eat, and where I eat. I removed all beef and pork from my diet. I eat Perdue fit and easy chicken with 2 grams of fat. Giant carries Nature's Promise chicken with 1 gram of fat. I eat fruits and vegetables. I eat quinoa, Activia fat free yogurt replaced ice cream , 1% cottage cheese replaced dips, hummus, fat free pretzels replaced greasy chips, low fat ginger snap cookies replace any desserts, and I don't eat any chocolate. I've lost 30 pounds too. Hope this might help.
I am 54 yrs old and never really thought I was eating foods high in fat but I had my first attack over last Xmas (2015) I found myself in the ER. Went home after I burped for 15 min.
5 weeks later I was in the ER again. I realized that pizza was the common denominator.
I gave up the pizza and have adopted a cleaner healthier diet. Even though I suffered 4 mild attacks, I can tell you what NOT to eat.
I'm going to wait it out for awhile. Not sure what anyone has to say. But so far so good.
I feel good. Walking more.
I keep thinking if I drink enough lemon water it may dissolve the stones. What do have to say for this ? Am I dreaming?
Your message about gallbladder removal was awesome!! Almost every you experienced since your surgery I am experiencing for the last 11 years. I was told many times it was IBS. Doctors are not listening to what I am saying. Thank you for sharing your story. Just plug along with the rest of us, your not alone!!!!
I never participate in posts, but I feel your advice could probably help me and others. After doing all the research I can, from my reliable sites, I have to add that I agree with your suggestion.
I'm going to start my plan TODAY, which closely coralates with your advice.
I haven't had any issues in 32 years, but I never liked fast food and never drank alcohol much. That may have been a big benefit. I just got my first blood report that showed higher levels than normal regarding my liver.
I plan to eat more foods regularly that benefit and help my liver work better.
I hope that every non-gallbladder person does all they can to enjoy a healthy life. I feel blessed to have the knowledge to make the best choices for my body.
I wish you all the best!
