The recovery phase of surgery generally takes 2 weeks. Gastrectomy is a medium-sized surgery. Patients experience a major physical and psychological trauma. In the initial stage after surgery, patients should rest and strengthen their nutrition, and eat fresh food that is easy to digest and has high nutritional value. Because the stomach has been mostly or completely removed, patients should eat small meals frequently, gradually increase the amount, and transition from liquid food, semi-liquid food, and soft food to normal food. It is appropriate to eat without discomfort. Do not eat too fast or eat too much at one time, which is not conducive to the recovery of the body and gastrointestinal function.

Comprehensive treatment stage. After about 1 month of rehabilitation adjustment, the patient has recovered from the surgical trauma. If there is no special discomfort, he should go to the hospital for comprehensive treatment. The patient and his family should cooperate closely to carry out comprehensive treatment such as radiotherapy, regular chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine, etc. A complete comprehensive treatment process takes about 1 year.
