An information request

I will be having my gallbladder removed soon. This means that I will need to watch my fat intake as a percentage of by overall diet. So sauted pigskin in a lard sauce is out..

Does anyone have some suggestions on places to look for low fat recipes? Doesn't have to be no fat but below 3-5% of the serving size at least until I find out where my stability point will end up.

1. I had mine out 20 years ago and have never had a problem

I love fatty things. have to watch more for overall calories than digestive issues. everyone is different but my experience was the only thing different in my life after surgery was no more gall bladder attacks.

lower fat recipes are everywhere. sub broth for saute, just use less fat when cooking, and some baking you can use applesauce, but see how it goes after a few months healing up. you might not have to change anything.

2. Thanks

I have been warned about excess fat. My mother had hers out a long time ago and she didn't seem to have any complaints or she just didn't bother.
My wife can't have applesauce. Too much fuctose for her intolerance.

3. I had several low fat cookbooks, but I sold them or donated them when I moved.

I would advise looking for some at the local thrift shops, Goodwill, or Salvation Army stores, because I always find a few there.

4. I have to figure out their equivalent here in Munich

Reading the German isn't a problem. After 8 years here I am pretty good at recipe German. As long as it isn't printed in teh old gothic blackletter type.

5. This is a Google link

To Mediterranean sheet pan recipes.

Easy sheet pan cooking and low fat too.
Cheers!

7. Thanks, will look into it.

I like sheet pan recipes. Or Blech Rezepts as one of my little German books calls them.

6. Sorry I have no suggestions (and I SHOULD,)

had mine removed years ago and have felt no repercussions; must say, I essentially ignore/forget about it! Have ice cream most'many days/nights!

'Break a leg!'

8. We get Gelato here mostly

The good news is it is lower fat than icecream.....
