There is no definite best food after stomach surgery, the important thing is to facilitate wound healing, it is better to eat light and easy-to-digest food such as millet porridge and noodle slices, and avoid spicy and hard-to-digest food such as hot pot and barbecue meat.
After surgery, after the fasting stage, you can first drink some rice porridge, noodle soup and other light liquid food. The digestive function of the stomach is reduced, eating protein may cause diarrhea, and you can’t drink milk, soy milk and other high-protein fluids.
If there is no other discomfort after eating fluids for a week, you can slowly try other semi-fluid foods, such as noodle sheets, soft noodles, and congee with eggs. After gastrectomy, the capacity of the stomach becomes smaller, the secretion of gastric acid decreases, digestion and absorption is poor, and you can’t eat coarse noodles, fried rice and other foods that are not easy to digest.
After eating semi-liquid food for about two weeks, with good digestive function, you can slowly add egg custard, tofu, eggplant and other soft food to increase nutrition. Oils and fats are not easy to digest and will aggravate the burden on the stomach, do not eat fried food, such as fried chicken, fried potatoes and so on. In addition, foods such as hot pot and barbecue will irritate the wound and are not conducive to healing, and should not be eaten after surgery.
Eat more light and easy-to-digest food after surgery, and also supplement nutrition to promote wound healing, but avoid spicy and stimulating, greasy food. Be careful not to overeat, eat small meals and chew your food slowly.
