    DO NOT EAT BANANAS!! directly after surgery do not eat bananas. My gall bladder was removed 1 1/2 years ago (Aug 2010) and I had eaten a banana about a week after surgery and then a few mins later doubled over in pain like I was having another gall bladder attack (mine was removed because it became diseased during pregnancy and was filled with sludge and crystals). I asked the doc that did my surgery and he said there is no medical reason why I should be having issues with bananas, and to not eat them for a few months and then start to introduce them again. Well I tried to do that and to no avail. I still cannot eat bananas unless I want to take a really strong pain killer. I have also found that there are other ppl with the same issue and still no doctors have been able to explain to me what it is. My guess is that there is some protein or enzyme that I can no longer process. I can eat just about anything else.
