On the first and second day after hemorrhoid surgery, you should eat a liquid or semi-liquid diet as much as possible, that is, you can eat rice soup, thin rice, chicken soup, pigeon soup, pork ribs soup, and so on. However, a light diet should not be greasy, as greasiness can lead to diarrhea and have a negative impact on the wound around the anus. The purpose of a liquid and semi-liquid diet is to minimize the formation of stools, because the first two days after surgery can be very painful for patients if they have anal bowel movements. It is also detrimental to the healing of the perianal wound and may lead to inflammation and infection. Two days after the surgery, you can basically eat a semi-liquid diet. It is important to eat as many fresh vegetables and fruits as possible, and to eat more foods that contain more fiber to ensure that the stools are relatively soft. If the stool is very hard and dry, it may also cause bleeding in the anus during defecation.
