Whether a patient can eat shrimp after surgery depends on the specific way of surgery and whether the patient has fully recovered from gastrointestinal function after surgery. First, if the patient has surgery for benign masses on the body surface, such as lipomas, sebaceous cysts and hemangiomas. At this time, the surgical trauma is relatively small, and the patient’s gastrointestinal function is not significantly affected after surgery, so the patient can eat a small amount of shrimp. Shrimp is rich in protein, which is conducive to faster healing of the incision. Second, if the patient underwent surgery for abdominal lesions, such as acute suppurative appendicitis, acute gangrenous cholecystitis, perforation of the digestive tract. After surgery, the patient’s abdominal cavity is still accompanied by more inflammatory exudate, and gastrointestinal function has not fully recovered. If the patient eats shrimp, it will cause abdominal pain and bloating symptoms, which is not conducive to faster recovery, and its not recommended that patients eat shrimp.
