- Eat fewer and more frequent meals. It is recommended that postoperative gastric cancer patients divide all their food into 4 to 5 meals daily. Do not eat a large amount of food at one time, which may cause gastric retention (meaning that the food stored in the stomach is not emptied in time).
- Chew well, chew slowly to reduce irritation to the stomach.
- Eat light, easily digestible, soft, non-irritating foods. Try to avoid greasy, hard foods and spicy diets.
- Patients with gastric cancer are prone to gastroesophageal reflux after surgery, so they should not lie down immediately after meals, and it is better to take a walk or perform appropriate housework for 30 minutes.
- If you eat according to the appeal precautions and still feel acid reflux and heartburn after eating, you should promptly inform your doctor to prescribe medication, which can be taken after taking gastric mucosal protector before eating.
