After gastric cancer surgery, it should start from liquid diet, to semi-liquid, and finally transition to normal diet.
Patients after gastric cancer surgery should be temporarily fasted for a short period of time, and they can start eating after anal defecation. They should start from liquid diet, such as water, rice juice, eggdrop soup, lotus root powder, milk, etc. Generally, two weeks after surgery, they can change to semi-liquid diet, such as egg custard, thin rice, noodles, etc.
Ordinary diet can be resumed half a year after gastric cancer surgery, but it is also recommended to choose warm, fine, soft and easy-to-digest food, so as to reduce the friction and stimulation to the stomach. At the same time, maintain balanced nutrition and eat more high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals as appropriate.
Normally, you can eat more eggs, fish, shrimp, lean meat, soy products, fruits and vegetables. Avoid eating foods that stimulate gastric mucosa, such as spicy, barbecue, too sweet or too salty foods.
Postoperative diet of gastric cancer patients should follow professional doctor’s advice and pay attention to postoperative matters for diet transition and choice.
