What should I eat after colon cancer surgery

What should you eat after surgery for colorectal cancer? Currently, the most commonly used methods to treat colorectal cancer are chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. No matter which method is used, it will cause great harm to the patient's body. If we want to recover our body, we need to pay attention to a reasonable and standardized diet. So, what should you eat after surgery for colorectal cancer? The following is a detailed introduction for you.

The occurrence of colorectal cancer is related to a high-fat, low-fiber diet, chronic colon inflammation, colon adenoma, genetic factors, and other factors such as schistosomiasis, pelvic radiation, environmental factors (such as molybdenum deficiency in the soil), smoking, etc. Therefore, both the preoperative diet and the postoperative diet are very important.

Because of the pain, the body of colorectal cancer patients is very weak. Therefore, it is most important to supplement the body with nutrition, otherwise the effect of treatment will be greatly reduced. You can eat more foods that enhance immunity, such as: turtle, oyster, purple sweet potato, purple sweet potato, eel, sea cucumber, etc.

Every patient needs a reasonable and scientific diet. You should eat more high-protein, high-fiber foods such as milk, eggs, fish, meat, poultry, and soy products. High-fiber foods include animal liver, carrots, tomatoes, lemons, fruits, etc., especially those with anti-cancer effects, such as carrots, shiitake mushrooms, fungus, beans, ergot, day lily, asparagus, and turtle.

It is common for colorectal cancer patients to have low immunity and lower white blood cell counts than normal. They can eat some warm and nourishing meats, such as mutton, dog meat, venison, beef tripe, donkey-hide gelatin, chicken, eggs, pigeon meat, turtle, etc. The effect will be better if assisted by Chinese medicine.

Adjust your diet, avoid cheese and refined foods, and choose a diet rich in fiber. High-fiber foods can absorb and maintain moisture in the small intestine, help soften stool, and facilitate excretion. Avoid dehydration and drink at least 3000 ml of liquid every day, such as fresh juice, soup, etc.

After colon cancer surgery, patients should follow the doctor's instructions for diet, just like other patients who have undergone intestinal surgery. The diet should be soft and thin at first, and then other foods can be added after the body gradually adapts. Do not eat too much fat after surgery. You can eat cereals, fish, chicken, eggs, lean meat, vegetables, dairy products and soy products to supplement the various nutrients needed by the body, but the amount should not be too much.
