Due to the effect of anesthesia and the disease itself, the digestive function of patients after operation will be hindered, and they cannot digest food and absorb nutrition well. Therefore, patients should not eat too early after operation. Non-digestive tract surgery patients generally begin to eat ordinary diet 6 hours after operation. Digestive tract surgery depends on the type of surgery and anal exhaust. Start drinking a small amount of water after the anus is vented. If there is no discomfort, you can eat liquid food (rice soup, vegetable soup, etc. ), and then gradually transition to semi-liquid food (noodles, rice noodles, etc.). ), soft food, general food.

Postoperative patients should eat nutritious and digestible food. For the elderly and infirm, the time of eating liquid and semi-liquid food should be appropriately extended to facilitate digestion. For ordinary patients, after the condition has improved steadily, they can be given ordinary diet.
When patients eat liquid food, they usually give priority to sweets, such as lotus root starch and orange juice. However, some patients have anorexia and even nausea and vomiting because they are not used to sweets, which obviously affects their health. At this time, if you can properly choose lean meat or fresh fish to cook soup, it can not only ensure nutrition but also stimulate appetite, and patients will recover soon.
The patient's diet should not be too meticulous. Postoperative patients often adopt a high-protein and high-calorie diet, ignoring the intake of vitamins. The repair of the body needs various nutrients, especially crude fiber food. For patients lying in bed after operation, foods containing crude fiber can promote gastrointestinal activities and keep defecation unobstructed. Therefore, a certain amount of vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables, should be matched in the diet.
