If proper nutrition can be supplemented after general surgery, it can accelerate the ability of wound recovery, help the body recover and reduce the probability of wound infection or inflammation. What postoperative diets need special attention or recommendation? The nutritionist has compiled the nutritional ingredients and recommended menus that need to be supplemented especially after surgery!

Besides digestive tract related surgery has its own dietary principles to follow, adequate calories, protein and trace elements can accelerate the ability of tissue recovery in general surgery or when there are common body wounds.

First, get enough calories.

For patients who have just finished surgery, it is very important to restore a balanced diet as soon as possible and supplement appropriate calories and nutrition. However, after the operation, they are likely to lose their appetite. Try to encourage patients to eat. If their appetite is really poor, consider supplementing nutrients containing complete nutrients with prototype food intake.

Second, enough protein and amino acids.

In the process of wound healing, it is very important for the body to keep enough raw materials. Protein is needed for cell renewal, tissue repair and immune system maintenance. Studies have pointed out that patients with malnutrition are not only related to poor prognosis, but also have a higher risk of inflammation or other complications.

Amino acids in protein are also involved in important functions, such as cysteamine and proline, which contribute to angiogenesis and wound remodeling (collagen synthesis). If it is lacking, the skin will be very fragile and inelastic. Amino acids such as arginine are helpful for wound healing. It is suggested to supplement seafood, chicken, bean products and eggs with low-fat meat first to avoid red meat with too much saturated fat.

Third, fresh fruits and vegetables.

Vitamins A, C and E in fruits are essential nutrients for wound healing and also have antioxidant effects. But patients should avoid infection after operation, and the fruit must be cleaned before eating. The rich dietary fiber in vegetables can not only avoid gastrointestinal peristalsis and constipation, but also promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine and help maintain immunity. However, if patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery need to take it according to the recovery of gastrointestinal tract, and gradually return to a general solid diet from liquid, liquid diet and soft food, it is not recommended to take high-fiber fruits and vegetables after surgery.
