Diet after thyroid surgery

The specific diet after thyroid surgery depends on which type of thyroid surgery is being performed. The post-operative diets for hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are both different. All thyroid surgery diets should be light and easy to digest, not too greasy, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, avoid stimulating foods, avoid smoking and alcohol, do not eat pickled, smoked, barbecued and moldy foods. Pay attention to protein supplementation as well. When supplementing protein, it must be mainly high quality protein. After hyperthyroidism surgery, the diet should be low in salt, and iodine-rich foods like kelp, shrimp, and nori should be eaten sparingly. After hypothyroidism surgery, the diet should be mainly high in salt. After thyroid surgery, you must pay attention to the calorie supplement, as insufficient calorie supplement is not conducive to thyroid recovery. The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a couple of hours of work.
