History Of Gall Bladder Removal. Pouches Above Eye. Should I Limit Necessary Fat In Food?

Hello
1.- I had my gallbladder removed a few years ago (DOB 6-15-1970). I've been told my body does not process fats as effectively as it once did so I try to not eat to many fatty foods, but I know that certain fats are necessary and beneficial (fish, olive, nuts for example). Should I limit those as well?
2.- I also notice if I eat cheese or a steak (it's a treat I may have a few times a week), I get little pouches above my eye, but below my eyebrow the following day. I was told it could be fatty deposits and a sign my body is having a hard time processing the fat. Is that true?

Hi

Mostly your questions have answers in them. You should limit intake of food that is not getting digested. It includes fatty food, oils, complex proteins (in beans), etc. Fish oils have side-effects.

The white pouches usually develop due to fatty deposits. Decreasing high calorie foods like milk products (cheese, butter, ghee, ice-creams, etc), non-vegetarian food are best avoided. Regular exercise at least 20 min a day is a must. Get your blood tested for lipid profile.
