What should be paid attention to in postoperative care for gastric cancer? Gastric cancer patients need to pay attention to many things after surgery, so patients must understand the knowledge of postoperative care for gastric cancer. So, what are the specific postoperative care methods for gastric cancer ?

Postoperative care for gastric cancer:

1. Chew food slowly, let the teeth chew the food in the mouth, and use the tongue to mix the food and saliva. This will make it easier to digest and the mouth will replace part of the stomach's digestive function, reducing the burden on the stomach.

2. The diet should be light, high in vitamins, high in protein, rich in nutrition and easy to digest. Such as noodles, various porridges, milk, soy milk, lotus root starch, fish, shrimp, lean minced meat, etc. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables regularly.

3. You can take some iron supplements. After gastrectomy, the stomach acid is reduced or lacking, which affects the absorption of iron and leads to iron deficiency anemia. You can eat ferrous sulfate, animal liver, spinach, etc.

4. Control the total amount of food and eating speed of each meal, and lie down and rest for 15 to 30 minutes after eating.

5. In daily diet, you should limit the intake of fried, spicy, irritating foods such as coffee, strong tea, and cold drinks. You should also limit the intake of overly hot and overly sweet foods. The temperature of food should be between 40 and 50 degrees. No smoking or drinking.
