What should stomach cancer patients eat? What should I pay attention to?
Hello! Let me answer your question. In fact, patients can eat some soft food as long as they can eat some fluids, diversify and avoid spicy stimulation. Post-operative care Psychological care: maintain an optimistic, confident and happy state of mind Self-healing: outdoor activities and physical exercise according to one's ability: walking, playing tai chi, tennis, travel, etc., watch more cultural programs, make friends. Dietary care: diet should be gradually transitioned from thin to thick, from small to large amount, from low calorie to high calorie, small meals, patients should develop good dietary habits, regular eating time, regular meals, insist on small meals, 5-6 meals per day; staple food and vegetables should be selected soft and easy to digest food, eat a little bit less at each meal to adapt to the characteristics of the stomach's small capacity, do not binge, and at the same time, attention to dietary hygiene. Pay attention to dietary hygiene. Start with fluid (such as rice juice, egg soup, lotus root powder, milk, egg custard, etc.), to semi-fluid (such as rice, wontons, noodles, pasta, etc.), and finally transition to ordinary diet. Generally speaking, semi-liquid food is fed for 2 weeks after the operation, and normal diet can be resumed half a year after the operation. Selective supplementation of nutrients (1) sugar should be controlled appropriately, sugar energy supply should account for 50% to 60% of the total calories, avoiding sweets, starchy food should be the main; (2) fat energy supply should not be more than 35% of the total energy, avoiding the consumption of animal fats, and should choose easily digested and absorbed fats, such as vegetable oils, creams, yolks and so on. A small number of patients with postoperative steatorrhea (refers to diarrhea pulling out a large number of fat particles), should reduce the amount of fat intake; (3) should be supplemented with a high-protein diet, choose easy to digest, essential amino acids a complete range of foods, such as eggs, fish, shrimp, lean meat, soybean products, etc., protein energy supply accounted for 15% to 20% of the total energy, or given by the standard of 1.0-2.0 grams of body weight per kilogram (eg, a person weighing 70 kg, the daily intake of 70 kg of body weight). kg of body weight, a person can consume 70 to 140 grams of protein per day). Increase the amount of vitamins and minerals. Increase the amount of vitamins and minerals by using animal liver and fresh vegetables. It should be noted that after gastric surgery, patients are prone to iron-deficiency anemia, so they can eat lean meat, fish, shrimp, animal blood, animal liver, egg yolks, soybean products, as well as jujube, spinach, leafy greens, sesame paste and other protein- and iron-rich foods to prevent anemia. Chew and swallow slowly to promote digestion After surgery, the stomach's grinding function is lacking, so the teeth's chewing function should play a more important role, for the rougher and indigestible food, it should be chewed and swallowed slowly; if you want to eat soups or beverages, pay attention to the dryness and sparseness of the separation and try to eat soups 30 minutes before or after meals to prevent the food from being discharged too quickly to affect the digestion and absorption; you can take a flat position when you eat or rest in side-lying position to prolong the food's digestion and absorption. When eating, you can take the flat position, or rest in the side position after eating to prolong the emptying time of food, so that it can be digested and absorbed completely. Due to the weakening of the physiological function of stomach after surgery, special attention should be paid to the dietary taboos: ◆ Avoid eating cold, hard and coarse food and overheating food; ◆ Avoid spicy and stimulating condiments, such as pepper, mustard, etc.; ◆ Strictly prohibit the consumption of strong alcohol, strong tea, high concentration of beverages and other stimulating foods; ◆ Avoid too much oil and too rough food, such as deep-fried food, fried chicken, fried dough, etc. ◆ The texture of food should be fine and soft, and the food should be soft, soft, soft, soft and soft. ◆The texture of food should be fine and soft and easy to digest. It is not suitable to eat coarse grains, dried beans, hard fruits, vegetables with high crude fiber content (bamboo shoots, celery, etc.), spicy and stimulating as well as gas-producing foods (such as radish, garlic cloves, white potatoes, etc.). These foods are not completely off-limits, just that the amount and the individual's tolerance for these foods need to be considered. The above points are the basic principles of postoperative dietary regimen for gastric surgery patients, and there is no need for too many taboos in other aspects. After the patient is discharged from the hospital, the main meals can be resumed with the family to eat, the amount of food is generally based on their own feelings, if there is a feeling of satiety, bloating and other situations, you should stop eating.
