Why aren’t you allowed to eat eggs after surgery?

Not being allowed to eat eggs after surgery is divided according to the type of surgery and the patient’s condition, such as gastrointestinal surgery, esophageal surgery, etc. It does not mean that you can’t eat eggs after all surgeries. If you have had gastrointestinal surgery, such as gastrectomy, intestinal tumor removal. Usually it takes time for the intestinal function to recover, and the anastomosis also needs the healing process. Eating food such as eggs before the gastrointestinal function has recovered or the wound has not healed may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, so you can give intravenous nutrition or specialized enteral nutrition. If it is other parts of the surgery, such as thyroid surgery, breast surgery, there is no gastrointestinal interference. Eggs can be eaten in moderation once the anesthesia has worn off. Eggs contain a large amount of protein, which can help provide nutrition for the patient, but avoid eating a lot of eggs, so as not to sludge cholesterol and cause diseases in other areas. It is recommended to eat a light diet after surgery, and you can eat more vitamin-rich foods, such as fresh vegetables and fruits; high-quality protein foods, such as milk, meat, eggs, fish and so on.
