Precautions 1: After surgery, due to gastrointestinal stimulation, peristalsis is reduced, liver function is inhibited, bile secretion is reduced, which will affect the function of the entire digestive system. Therefore, 1 to 2 days after the operation, should be strictly fasting, it is appropriate to use intravenous drip to supplement all kinds of nutrition. From the 3rd day onwards, a liquid diet can be given as appropriate, such as rice soup, soy milk, lotus root powder, fruit juice, etc., and then gradually changed to skimmed milk with sweetened bread, rice porridge, tofu soup, jujube puree, rice paste and pasta type.
Precautions 2: In the first month after the operation, you should reduce the intake of fatty foods, and prohibit eating high-fat and fried foods. After the gallbladder is removed, it will lose the function of regulating the discharge of bile into the intestines, and the ability to digest fat will be weakened accordingly. Especially in a short period of time to digest a large amount of fatty foods, that is not enough, will cause bloating, diarrhea and indigestion. Reduce fat intake, mainly refers to not eat or eat as little as possible fat meat, animal offal, egg yolks and fried foods, should not eat all kinds of high-fat, high-calorie "fast food". Cooking as little as possible with animal oil, you can increase the amount of vegetable oil. Dishes should be steamed, stewed, cold mainly, eat less fried vegetables, especially avoid spicy stimulating food, do not drink alcohol, so as to reduce the adverse stimulation of the biliary tract.
Note 3: Gradually strengthen the nutrition. Cholecystectomy 1 month later, the diet should also pursue light, strengthen the necessary nutritional supplements, will help the patient early recovery. After several weeks of adaptation and compensation, the common bile duct, which connects the liver to the small intestine, gradually stretches and enlarges, replacing the gallbladder's function of storing bile.
Note 4: Increase the number of meals appropriately. It should be noted that it is not advisable to eat more than one meal per day, especially in the postoperative period of 3 to 6 months, 4 meals per day is good, eating less and more meals can reduce the burden on the digestive system, which is conducive to the recovery of health after surgery. It is best to eat some dishes containing vinegar every day, because vinegar will enhance the digestive ability of the stomach, and can also regulate the pH in the intestines to facilitate the role of bile and promote the digestion of fatty foods. Drinking tea and eating more fresh fruits and vegetables will also help in the digestion and absorption of food.
