In the early stage of heart bypass, it is recommended to eat an easy-to-digest, low-salt, low-fat and light diet, avoid spicy and greasy food, and avoid drinking alcohol. The amount of water to be consumed is recommended to be determined under the guidance of your doctor.
Cardiac bypass grafting is also called “coronary artery bypass grafting”. In the early stage of cardiac bypass grafting, since the operation is just finished and the patient has just woken up from anesthesia, the gastrointestinal activity has not been fully recovered, therefore, you can eat some easy-to-digest, non-stimulating, low-salt, low-fat food.
After that, you can gradually eat protein-rich foods to promote wound healing, such as lean meat, egg white, soy products, etc. But you need to always pay attention to low-salt, low-fat light diet, because patients with coronary heart disease are often accompanied by hyperlipidemia and high blood pressure, which are one of the risk factors for atherosclerosis, which can easily deteriorate coronary heart disease and may cause stenosis of bypass blood vessels.
It is also necessary to pay attention to not overeating, appropriate limitation of water intake, so as not to increase the burden on the heart.
