Postoperative dietary care I. Fasting after surgery, waiting for the recovery of intestinal peristalsis anal venting, after removal of the gastric tube in five days after surgery a small amount of water, 4 to 5 tablespoons each time, once every two hours. Second, if the postoperative recovery is normal, a low-fat semi-liquid diet with a normal protein content and minimal fiber content can be eaten two weeks after surgery. Third, the patient’s diet should be based on the principle of no discomfort to self, low residue, mild and easy to digest, few meals, and avoid too sweet, too salty and too thick diet, such as nausea and abdominal distension after eating, the diet should be suspended. Fourth, 2 to 3 weeks after surgery, some patients may have panic, sweating, dizziness, nausea, epigastric discomfort and other symptoms after eating sweets (such as milk with sugar, etc.), which usually last 15 to 30 minutes and can be relieved by themselves, called “dumping syndrome”. To prevent this situation, if you want to eat sweet food, you should also eat a moderate amount of easily digestible salty food, and control the speed of eating. Patients should chew and swallow slowly, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, do not eat high-fat food and pickled products, supplement iron and vitamins in appropriate amount, refrain from smoking and alcohol, eat regularly, and gradually return to normal diet after 3-6 months after surgery according to physical condition. Sixth, medication should be used according to medical prescriptions after gastric cancer surgery to prevent anemia. Diet taboos As the physiological function of stomach is weakened after surgery, special attention should be paid to the diet taboos after gastric cancer surgery. The dietary taboos after gastric cancer surgery are: avoid eating raw, cold, coarse and hard foods; avoid eating spicy and stimulating condiments, such as pepper and mustard; strictly forbid drinking strong wine, strong tea and other stimulating foods; avoid overly oily and too rough foods, such as fried chicken, fries and other fried foods. The texture of food should be soft and easy to digest, and coarse grains, dry beans, hard fruits, vegetables with high content of coarse fiber (bamboo shoots, celery, etc.), spicy and stimulating foods and gas-producing foods (such as radish, garlic, white potatoes, etc.) should not be consumed, which are especially important points to note in the postoperative diet for stomach cancer. It is not that these foods are not allowed to be eaten at all, but the amount and personal tolerance of these foods should be considered. These are the basic principles of postoperative dietary taboos for gastric cancer, and other aspects should not be too taboo. After patients come out, they can resume eating together with their family members. The amount of food is generally based on their own feeling, and if they feel full and bloated, they should stop eating. Doing a good job of stomach cancer nursing has an important role in promoting the recovery of patients.
