Post effects of gallblader removal

My question is simple,

Could you please send me a list of safe foods of which my wife can eat, both immediately after a gallblader removel and what she can expect to eat in the future ?

My wife had her gallblader removed here in Vientiane, Lao PDR, but it is very difficult to establash from the Dr's concerned, as to what she can and can't eat, as they are all "Asian Food" orintated.
As I am a European, I can can provide the more "Bland" european foods if necessary, but I really need to not "what ?" before I give it to her ?

I look forward to your very kind and worthwhile response !

Kindest Regards,
Paul Simcock !

After an insurance exam, I have elevated levels of GGt at 113.... I was told the acceptable range is 2-65...
I am 41 year old male and have three things I think might the be culprit.  Please comment perhaps % wise, which of the three you would guess would be the most likely... (I am going to my physician for follow up tests tommorow)  Also, my lower back hurts, quite often...
1.  Gall bladder was removed 2.5 years ago... can this cause elevated enzyme levels?  It is possible the bile duct was damagad during surgery and this is the problem?

2.  I drink high protein drinks and eat alot of protein for my workout regimen... could this affect liver enzymes and/or be compounded by the fact that my gall bladder is a goner?

3.  I drink alcohol (2-6 drinks per week on average except during water ski season when my drinking average goes up to 12-15 drinks per week for about 12 weeks)  

Well, cast your vote... please assign percentages to all three of these or just give your opinion...Thanks

While your wife recuperates, its best for her to eat lowfat foods that are easily digested such as: rice, chicken, cooked vegetables and fruits, bread.  As time goes on, she may be able to eat anything she wants.  If not, she'll learn by trial and error what to avoid.  Hope this is helpful.
