What should I pay attention to in my diet after surgery for cardiac cancer?

With the advancement of medical technology, there are more and more treatments for cardiac cancer, and many patients have recovered well. The following is an introduction to the postoperative diet for cardiac cancer, hoping to help you!

Cardiac cancer is different from other tumors. It is not that the patient has poor appetite, but that he has difficulty swallowing and cannot eat, which causes the body's consumption. Therefore, he should try to eat more food that can enter the esophagus, such as semi-liquid food and full-liquid food. Pay attention to the quality of semi-liquid food and full-liquid food. Do not limit calories. The food should be nutritious, soft, easy to digest and absorb. If necessary, you can make homogenate meals, elemental meals and mixed milk meals.

Homogenized diet is made by removing the thorns and bones from normal people's diet and blending it into a paste with a high-speed tissue pounder. The nutrients it contains are similar to those of normal diet, but it has been crushed in vitro and is very easy to digest and absorb. It can avoid long-term monotonous diet and prevent constipation. The heat energy and nutritional requirements of homogenized diet can be formulated according to the condition and personal eating habits. Rice, porridge, noodles, steamed bread, eggs, fish, shrimp, chicken, lean meat, pork liver, cabbage, carrots, rapeseed, white radish, wax gourd, potatoes, as well as appropriate amounts of milk, soy milk, tofu, dried tofu and other foods can be selected.

Preparation of homogenate meal: Clean chicken, lean meat, fish, shrimp, vegetables, etc., remove bones, skin, and thorns, cut into small pieces and cook or fry, remove the skin of steamed buns, boil and shell eggs and cut into pieces, mix all the food needed for each meal, add appropriate amount of water and mash them together (medical tissue pounder or food pounder can be used for mashing), and add 1 to 2 grams of salt per meal after all are mashed into a particle-free paste. Alternatively, stir-fry the vegetables and mix them with the crushed steamed buns, mash them with a tissue pounder, and then take them orally or tube-feed them. Encourage eating more.

Postoperative diet: Do not eat or drink after surgery. If you can drink water according to the doctor's advice, you can drink a small amount of water to prevent anastomotic leakage. Generally, you should eat after three days. The semi-liquid stage can be slightly longer, and do not rush to transition to normal food. The esophagus after surgery is different from the normal esophagus, so you should pay more attention to food hygiene, avoid eating irritating foods and seasonings, and the food should not be too hot or too hard. Eat small meals frequently.

That’s all I have to say about the diet for cardiac cancer. I hope it will be helpful to you. If you have any other questions, please consult an online expert.
