When it comes to nutrition, people may immediately think of chicken, duck and fish, but it is not. It is true that these foods are rich in protein, but we should not ignore the essential vitamins and trace elements.

Trace elements related to wound healing include copper and zinc, and vitamins include vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E, etc. Although these substances have a certain reserve in the human body, they can be adjusted to give priority to the needs of wounds and are generally not lacking. However, the amount of vitamin C required by surgical patients is much higher than usual, and patients' appetite is not good, and less food will also cause demand to exceed supply.

Therefore, patients after surgery, if they can eat by themselves, can eat more foods containing more vitamin C, such as tomatoes, peppers, amaranth, vegetables, cabbage, carrots and so on. Patients with food supplement difficulties can take it orally or intravenously, and need vitamin C1~ 2g every day.

The patients in the surgical ward don't know where they heard about many foods that can't be eaten after surgery, and which should be "taboo". When doctors make rounds, patients often ask many similar questions.

So far, I haven't heard of any kind of food that can promote wound healing, and I haven't confirmed that any kind of daily food will make the wound fester or delay healing. Therefore, except for people who need taboos due to illness, they can still eat the food they usually eat after the operation, and there should be no "taboos". As for smoking, it is not suitable for healthy people, let alone patients.
