The day after surgical removal of gastric polyps generally requires fasting, after which, depending on the recovery situation, it will be decided whether it is possible to eat or not. If the recovery is good and the doctor judges that the risk of stomach perforation and bleeding is small, then a small amount of oatmeal can be consumed after 48~72 hours.
Patients undergoing surgical removal of gastric polyps can consume a small amount of oatmeal after 48 to 72 hours if they are recovering well and the doctor judges that the risk of stomach perforation and bleeding is small. Oatmeal is also richer in nutrients, and proper consumption can promote physical recovery, but oatmeal generally requires boiling water, and patients need to wait for the oatmeal to cool before consuming it, to avoid irritating the stomach and causing bleeding from the incision of the polyp.
In addition to oatmeal, patients can also eat light, easy to digest semi-liquid food, such as millet porridge, lean meat porridge, pumpkin porridge and so on.
Whether you can eat oatmeal after the removal of gastric polyps should depend on the patient’s degree of recovery to decide, and follow the doctor’s instructions to avoid adverse consequences.
