Answered by Master. Doctor Duong Xuan Loc - Department of General Surgery, Vinmec Danang International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “1 month after cholecystectomy, have you been able to exercise normally? , please answer as follows:
1 month after cholecystectomy, you can return to normal activities. However, you need to limit strenuous exercise.
You can return to normal eating and drinking but limit animal fat a lot, do not use coffee, stimulants or fried foods or spicy spices such as chili, garlic, salt and pepper because they can cause you pain Abdominal or worsening of constipation
For patients after cholecystectomy, patients should eat not too full at one time, but should divide meals within 4 weeks to allow the body to adapt to not having a pouch gall bladder (gallbladder removed)
If you still have questions about whether you can exercise normally 1 month after cholecystectomy, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for a checkup. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
