What to eat after esophageal surgery

Dietary attention after esophageal surgery includes intravenous nutritional infusion with nasal feeding for 1~3 days after surgery, fluid diet for 3~5 days after surgery, and semi-liquid diet after 5 days. 1~3 days after esophageal surgery, because the gastrointestinal function is not fully recovered, so you can take intravenous nutrition infusion with nasal feeding diet. With the gradual recovery of gastrointestinal function after 3~5 days after surgery, it can be adjusted to liquid diet, such as rice soup, fish soup, chicken soup and so on. Pay attention to observe the reaction after eating, and do not lie down to sleep immediately after eating to help reduce the reflux situation. You can transition to a semi-liquid diet about 5 days after surgery, mainly choosing foods that are easy to digest, such as noodles and egg custard. If there are other uncomfortable symptoms after the esophageal surgery, you should go to the hospital in time to have the cause clarified and then give targeted treatment.
