Diet and precautions after gastric cancer surgery

Because the stomach is fragile after gastric cancer surgery, it must be light, and over-nourished food cannot be used. You can drink more liquid foods such as porridge to protect your stomach and make it easier to digest. It is best to drink millet porridge, because millet can protect the stomach.

You can also eat more meat, such as fish, shrimp or eggs, to supplement nutrition, but you can't eat too much, which will burden your stomach. If you want to protect your stomach, don't eat more indigestible foods such as pickled food, canned food and instant noodles.

Irritating foods are not suitable for eating, such as foods that are too sour, too spicy and too salty, and foods that are raw and cold are not suitable for eating. In the process of eating, you must remember to chew slowly. It is best to chew everything thoroughly before swallowing, because the stomach is easier to digest after biting, and you can't eat too much every time. If you are particularly hungry, you would rather eat more meals than eat them all at once.

Some people may be used to drinking and smoking every day, so it is inevitable that they will want to drink a few cigarettes after gastric cancer surgery. This is absolutely not possible, because at that time, the stomach was still very fragile, alcohol and tobacco easily stimulated the stomach, and drinking alcohol easily hurt the stomach. So smoking and drinking are absolutely forbidden.

Listen to the doctor's instructions. The doctor says you can eat whatever you can. If the doctor doesn't allow you to eat food, you must never eat it. At the same time, you should always go to the hospital for reexamination. If there is auxiliary treatment, you can't be lazy. We should listen to the doctor and do it well.

You can also exercise more at ordinary times, but the way of exercise is slower and you can't do strenuous exercise. It is better to take a walk and other exercise methods. Moreover, after the operation, it does not mean that you can continue to eat and drink carefree, because if you continue to eat indiscriminately, you may get gastric cancer again.
