What should you pay attention to in your diet after gastric cancer surgery?

After gastric cancer surgery, you should generally pay attention to eating a light diet, balanced nutrition, and regular meals.

1. Eat a light diet: Gastric cancer is a more common malignant tumor disease. Because it grows in the stomach, it will directly affect the patient's appetite. If you do not pay attention to your daily diet after surgery, it is likely to cause recurrence of the disease. After surgery, you should try to eat a light diet, such as some cabbage, noodles, spinach and other foods, which will not burden the gastrointestinal tract and will not affect the disease.

2. Balanced nutrition: You should also pay attention to diet to ensure that your daily food is nutritionally balanced and avoid excessive nutrition. You should not only eat vegetables and meat, but also eat some fruits appropriately and drink some milk and yogurt.

3. Eat regularly: In your daily diet, you also need to eat on time. You cannot eat breakfast at lunch time, otherwise it will affect the gastrointestinal system, leading to decreased gastrointestinal function, which is not conducive to disease control.

In addition to the above precautions, you should also be careful not to overeat. After the operation, you generally need to be observed in the hospital for a period of time. If you have other abnormal symptoms, you should notify the hospital in time and go to the hospital for regular checkups after discharge, which will help observe the recovery of the disease.
