My gall bladder was removed, how does my food digest then?

The gallbladder stores bile that is produced by the liver, then squirts it into the intestine after a meal. When the gallbladder is removed, the liver still produces bile, but it always goes directly into the intestine instead of being stored. This is still good enough for nearly normal digestion.
