What are the precautions after cholecystectomy

  Having a missing gallbladder on your body is not terrible After undergoing gallbladder surgery and being discharged from the hospital, although the wound heals, the conditions for bile to be stored and concentrated do not exist, causing a temporary imbalance in the regulation of digestive tract function. It takes some time after surgery to repair and compensate. Doctors believe that gallbladder removal has no significant impact on human health. In fact, there are many patients whose gallbladder was non-functional or declined in function before surgery, and the diseased gallbladder can affect the patient’s digestive function; after gallbladder removal in such patients, instead of causing poor digestive function, it improves digestive function and quality of life.  It should be noted that the patient should ask the competent doctor about the precautions to be taken after discharge in detail when discharged from the hospital. After discharge from the hospital, you should go down to the ground as much as your physical condition allows, such as walking and doing some simple housework.  Small and frequent meals, low-fat diet For the first 2 days after surgery, strict fasting should be applied, and intravenous drips should be used to supplement various nutrients. From the 3rd day onwards, the patient can be given a liquid diet such as rice soup, soy milk, lotus root powder, fruit juice, etc., and then gradually change to skim milk with sweet bread, rice porridge, bean curd soup, date paste, rice paste and pasta, etc. In the first month after surgery, the intake of fatty foods should be reduced, and high-fat and fried foods should be prohibited, and after one month, the diet should not be too light, and the necessary nutritional supplements can be enhanced.  Generally speaking, it takes about six months for the body to gradually adapt to the needs of digestion after surgery. During this period of compensation and adaptation, the diet should be smaller and more frequent, with four meals per day. Do not overeat and maintain the dietary principles of low calorie, low fat, high protein and high vitamin. Less greasy, appropriate taste and easy to digest. Cooking should strive to be light, preferably using methods such as stewing, steaming, simmering soup, etc., and using condiments as little as possible.  Patients should be encouraged to eat so that the condition can recover faster. Eat more foods high in fiber, including coarse grains such as corn, millet, sweet potatoes, oats and buckwheat, to promote bile excretion. Daily vegetable intake should be greater than 500 grams and at least 2 kinds of fruits. You can also drink some yogurt and exercise more appropriately. After six months or so after surgery, when the body recovers better, you can add fatty foods in small amounts one by one, so as not to cause abdominal discomfort and indigestion such as diarrhea.  Each meal should be seven or eight minutes full to control calories. Reduce foods with high cholesterol content. For foods with high cholesterol content such as animal offal, egg yolk, salted duck egg, puffed egg, fish roe, crab yolk, etc., limit consumption to a maximum of four eggs per week. At the same time, reduce the intake of nuts with high fat content, such as peanuts, melon seeds, walnuts, almonds, pistachios, etc. In addition, avoid seaweed and seafood, and avoid smoking and alcohol. If the diet is not appropriate, excessive intake of fatty components, it is very easy to cause indigestion and even diarrhea.  It is not advisable to take tonic at will Drink carp soup, drink sesame paste, eat gum, etc. In response to the popular folk recipes for tonic after gallbladder removal, Li Dongliang pointed out that it is necessary for patients to adjust their diet properly after discharge to promote body recovery, but whether or not they must take tonic and how to take tonic depends on the condition. In general, as long as you do a reasonable mix of meat and vegetables, to maintain a balanced nutrition, no additional nutrition. In particular, “food therapy” should not be simply copied. If the patient is not properly nourished, he will also “supplement” the new disease.
