There are other problems that should be paid attention to after the operation:
No matter what kind of operation, even if the operation is perfect and smooth, it will also cause damage to body tissue. Generally, there may be blood loss, fever, infection, metabolic dysfunction, decreased digestion and absorption capacity, loss of appetite, chewing difficulty and other conditions that affect wound healing. We must pay attention to a reasonable diet to help our body recover.
After the operation, the patient's gastrointestinal function may be affected and his digestive ability is poor. Therefore, from the beginning of restoring diet, it is required to start with liquid food and semi-liquid food, that is, rice soup and porridge, and gradually transition to semi-liquid food, that is, noodles, chicken soup, sparerib soup and fish soup. And not too greasy, because greasy may lead to accelerated intestinal peristalsis, abdominal pain and diarrhea. If it is gastrointestinal surgery, such as radical gastrectomy or radical colon cancer surgery, it is necessary to decide when to resume eating according to the recovery of the abdomen after surgery, that is, the healing of the anastomosis. Generally speaking, it is required to start eating three to five days after operation, and it is also required to start with liquid food and semi-liquid food. It is best to have a light diet, because eating greasy food may lead to diarrhea in patients.
Postoperative patients must ensure adequate and reasonable nutritional intake. In principle, it is high in calories, protein and vitamins, and the nutrients are supplied through various channels. Diet generally starts with liquid, and gradually changes to semi-liquid, soft food or general food. It is best to use a small number of meals to increase nutrient intake. It is necessary to adjust the diet reasonably according to the surgical site and condition.
Diet after operation is very important. A little carelessness will not only affect the recovery of patients, but also bring greater harm. It is very important to maintain a balanced nutrition after operation.
After operation, we should eat more foods with high nutritional value, which are light and easy to digest and absorb, especially high-quality animals such as protein, such as lean pork, beef and mutton, and then supplement trace elements, especially zinc and potassium. Zinc is the medium of chemical reaction and plays an important role in promoting the synthesis of protein. Thirdly, it is a supplement of vitamins and cellulose, which can enhance the anti-infection ability. Vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E can also promote wound healing. Also avoid eating marine fish rich in lard, animal offal, fat and cholesterol. Also avoid alcohol, tobacco and strong tea.
