Dietary considerations after removal of gastric polyps

The dietary considerations after gastric polyp removal mainly include eating a liquid or semi-liquid diet, and avoiding spicy and stimulating foods, as follows: 1. 1-2 days after the early postoperative period usually advocate a liquid or semi-liquid diet, such as milk, thin rice, rotten noodles. 2-3 days later, if there is no abnormality, you can consider gradually transition to semi-liquid, or even low-fat soft food. Usually, you can eat universal food only after a week. 2. You need to avoid eating too greasy, spicy and stimulating food, as well as dry and hard food. Because the current gastric polyp surgery is usually excised endoscopically, the excision surface is in the mucosa and submucosa layer, the tissue healing in about 1-2 days, especially after 48 hours to form fibrous connective tissue. In the early stage, it is necessary to eat liquid or semi-liquid food to avoid excessive gastric peristaltic contraction, which may lead to wound splitting, bleeding, or even perforation. After the formation of fibrous connective tissue, it takes about a week to be firm, so try to eat semi-liquid food for about a week, and avoid overly greasy, spicy and stimulating food, so as not to increase the burden on the stomach, which will lead to enhanced gastric contraction, causing local wound cracking, bleeding, or even perforation.
