Cake can be consumed in small amounts after intestinal polyp surgery, but large amounts are not recommended. It is best to focus on light and easily digestible foods with little crumbs to minimize stool formation after bowel polyp surgery. Cake fits this requirement very well. After the postoperative recovery of bowel function, you can start with a liquid diet, such as millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, and so on. If there is no discomfort after 2-3 days of liquid diet, you can eat some soft food, such as rolls, noodles, etc., including cake, but should avoid high-fat, high-sugar food, so as not to cause abdominal distension and other uncomfortable symptoms. It is generally recommended to eat a small amount of cake after 3 days of intestinal polyp resection, so that the patient’s body has been initially recovered and gastrointestinal function is gradually improving. In addition, it is recommended to avoid spicy and stimulating foods, such as chili peppers and garlic, within 7 days after intestinal polyp surgery, otherwise it is not conducive to the recovery of the condition. In addition to a light diet in daily life, it is also necessary to maintain a good sleep and keep a happy mood.
