Why not order a child's portion or a "side" of it?  Usually you can do that at Italian restaurants.

If a food makes you feel sick, your body is telling you not to eat that food. Unless the dish was loaded with fats, I don't see how removal of the gallbladder could be involved. The only after-effects of my cholecystectomy many years ago were cessation of constant nausea and the development of surgical site hernias. Unfortunately, I could eat everything, fats included.

People can develop problems with foods that were previously fine as they age, independent of anything else. Amounts may also be an issue. Gorging is never wise, and the body naturally becomes less tolerant of excess as we get older.

When going to a restaurant, it might be smart to ask the wait person to bring a take-home container with the entree and to put most of the meal into before eating, then enjoy the portion that doesn't trigger a bad reaction.

I also had mine removed in 2005.  I had trouble for about 2-3 months but then it subsided.

I also have acid reflux so I understand feeling kind of nauseous after eating. I would definitely talk to your doctor - you might need meds for it.  I've been on them for 25 years and rarely feel that way but I'm also not a big eater.

Hope that helps!

Everyone is different. Had mine out 2 yrs.ago and still have issues.No big deal.I read that after gallbladder is removed that a lot of people still feel like it never left! My friend at work told me that is how she felt  after hers was out.

My big issue is with lettuce and things with sauces but like OP said small potatoes when compared with others issues.

Take care & have a Happy Thanksgiving.

My removal several years ago was hard and still avoid some things.

I had some major weight loss and my GI referred me to a dietitian, which gave me some hints.  Worth a try.

I had mine out 5 years ago.  Green salads go right through so I don't stray from home when I eat those.  Also any kind of nuts.  I love cashews and eat a handful.  Boom!

I used to love red Twizzlers.  Now if I eat them they just sit in my stomach.  I can't digest them.   Chinese food is another trigger.  So yeah, everyone is different.

Both daughters had many problems before doctors finally diagnosed them with very low functioning gall bladders.  

Even after 4 years, they have to be careful, and some foods they only eat here at home.

Maybe it's garlic in the sauce.  I have had my gallbladder out with no issues of what I can eat.  However, as I have aged, I cannot tolerate dishes high in garlic.  Just a thought.

My gallbladder was taken out several years ago. I did have problems. I am taking a digestive enzyme and it has helped me a lot. The first one I took didn't help me much so I found some reviews on another digestive enzyme where it worked better on people who didn't have their gall bladders. 

PLEASE NOTE:  Both my gastro dr. and family dr. approved. I think that's important. Everyone is different and they know what other meds may interfere or cause adverse effects (or any other reasons)  that could cause problems.

We're all different.  A girlfriend of mine had her gall bladder removed about 20 years ago and has been on a special diet ever since.

I had problems with fats and lettuce before I had my gall bladder removed.  Since my surgery 10 years ago, I can eat anything I want without any problems.
