Main points of diet after gastrointestinal polyp surgery

What should I pay attention to?

1. Fasting: Fasting for 6-8 hours or longer after gastric polyp operation, depending on the size of polyp and wound surface. Then the advanced liquid diet is transitioning to semi-liquid food, soft food and general food.

Patients with colorectal polyps need to stay in bed after operation. If the polyp is small and there are no symptoms after operation, you can eat liquid food on the same day, first eat liquid food, and then transition to semi-liquid food, soft food and general food. If the polyp is large, it depends on the size of the polyp and the size of the wound.

2. liquid food: if the patient has no discomfort, liquid food can be given the next day, 50~ 100ml each time, once every 2 hours.

3. Full liquid or semi-liquid food: Full liquid or semi-liquid food can be given on the third day. The dietary principle is non-irritating food, small amount and multiple meals, each time 100~200ml, 6-7 meals a day. The principle of diet is: the food is non-irritating, liquid, eat less and eat more meals every 2-3 hours, and properly choose foods that are not flatulent but not too sweet, such as egg soup, rice soup, vegetable soup and lotus root powder. It is advisable to lie flat for 20 to 30 minutes after meals.

4. Low-fat semi-liquid diet: If you return to normal after operation, you can eat a low-fat semi-liquid diet, such as porridge, noodles and wonton. Two weeks after operation, 5-6 meals a day. Dietary principle: semi-liquid, protein content meets the normal requirements, fiber content is very small, a small amount of meals.

The patient's diet should be based on the principle of self-feeling, low residue, gentleness and digestibility, and eat less and more meals to avoid a diet that is too sweet, salty and thick. Stop eating if you have symptoms such as nausea and bloating after eating.

Starting with the most digestible food, take a step-by-step approach, from thin to thick, from liquid to soft and then to solid, so that the stomach can gradually get used to digesting food. Usually a liquid diet can be given on the tenth day after operation. You can try to eat soft food after discharge, and you can eat like a normal person about one month after operation.
