What to eat after lung resection surgery

A reasonable dietary regimen is needed after lung resection surgery to prevent a decline in lung function and to promote recovery. Generally, a light diet is the mainstay, so do not eat spicy, stimulating, too greasy, too hot, too cold food, or hard food. During the initial postoperative recovery process, you can eat a liquid or semi-liquid diet. As the body loses a lot of nutrients after lung resection, you can take appropriate nutrients to prevent lung deficiency, such as foods rich in multivitamins, minerals and high quality protein, such as milk, soy milk, eggs, seafood, and brightly colored vegetables and fruits, and you can also take appropriate Chinese medicine to clear the lung and replenish lung qi, such as astragalus, danshen, cordyceps, pellets of tonics, yupingfeng etc.
