Diet sharing after appendectomy surgery

After appendectomy surgery, the patient’s body is very weak. Many people think that they need to take a lot of supplements after the surgery, but you are wrong! Diet after appendectomy surgery must be carefully arranged. So what should you pay attention to in your diet after appendectomy surgery? What foods should we eat? Do you know what to eat to be healthier? Let’s take a look at the diet sharing after appendectomy surgery.

1. Avoid any food intake

After major surgery on the digestive tract and abdomen, the intestines are in a low-function state and fasting is required. 2-3 days after the operation, if gas is discharged from the anus, it indicates that the intestinal function has begun to recover. At this time, a small amount of liquid diet can be given. After 5-6 days, you can switch to a semi-liquid diet with less residue. During this period, the liquid should be light and nutritious, and should be taken warm to avoid ingesting coarse food residues into the liquid. When switching to a low-residue semi-liquid diet, avoid eating soups containing chicken, ham, and various vegetables. Even if these foods have been cooked very well, they must be given 10 days after the operation.

2. Avoid greasy food

Even on the 10th day after surgery, when the body can tolerate soft meals, you should not eat greasy food too early.

1. The diet should be kept light and eat more fiber-rich foods. Foods containing crude fiber can enhance gastrointestinal activity and keep bowel movements smooth. Therefore, a certain amount of vegetables should be included in the diet, especially green leafy vegetables. Such as green leafy vegetables, radishes, beans, fruits, whole grains, mushrooms, and fungus. Bananas, apples and other easily digestible fruits are edible. They all contain natural antibiotics that can inhibit bacterial reproduction, increase lactobacilli in the large intestine, promote intestinal peristalsis, and help with bowel movements and detoxification.

2 Eat more foods high in protein, such as chicken and fish. However, it is recommended to drink more soup and eat less meat. Drinking fish soup and chicken soup every day is very beneficial for wound healing. In addition, drinking sea bass soup every day is also good for wound healing, but it is best to remove the skin before eating, the effect will be better.

3. Eating more foods containing vitamin C can help promote wound healing. Fruits such as lemons, oranges, tangerines, kiwis, strawberries, etc.; most green leafy vegetables, cabbage, green peppers, etc. are rich in vitamin C. Drinking more warm water and beverages can dilute bile, promote bile excretion, prevent bile stasis, and facilitate the recovery of bile tract diseases. 1000-1500ml per day is appropriate.

After reading the above diet after appendectomy surgery, do you realize that some of your ideas are wrong? It is forbidden to consume any food for 10 days after the operation. Don't always think that eating is the only way to be healthy. Don't be too hasty after the operation. Don't take too much supplements after the operation. Eat a light diet and recover little by little. Never eat greasy food. Proper postoperative care is also an important part of recovery.
