What you can’t eat after a minimally invasive surgery is not determined by the minimally invasive, but by the type of minimally invasive surgery that was done. For example, if you are having a minimally invasive thyroidectomy, you should not eat food that is too hot in the early postoperative period because too hot food may cause bleeding from the incision in the neck, which may compress the airway or even possibly cause choking. If minimally invasive intra-abdominal surgery is performed, such as gastrointestinal surgery and laparoscopic appendectomy, you should wait for the recovery of intestinal peristalsis and anal defecation before you can eat a liquid diet after surgery. In minimally invasive laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery or colon cancer surgery, gastrointestinal anastomosis or intestinal-intestinal anastomosis has to be done after surgery, and no food can be eaten before the anastomosis is healed, and only after the anastomosis is healed, a liquid or semi-liquid diet can be eaten, and coarse, hard or hard-to-digest diets have to be avoided.
