Patients, relatives and friends often come to ask:
Should I eat what after gallbladder surgery?
Oh, my gallbladder has been cut off, can’t I eat oil?
Stomach operation is very weak, drink more chicken soup to make up for it?
Many people associate gallbladder with oil, that is, fat. Therefore, once the gallbladder is gone, it is natural to think of whether oil cannot be eaten.
What is the gallbladder and the bile inside?
Bile in the gallbladder plays a very important role in digesting and absorbing fat and fat-soluble vitamins. However, bile is not produced by the gallbladder. The main function of the gallbladder is to concentrate and store bile. When people eat, the gallbladder will secrete bile through the bile duct into the duodenum to help people digest fat.
So, although the gallbladder is removed, bile is still produced by liver cells every day. It is only possible that some bile will enter the duodenum at any time, not just when eating. Therefore, after cholecystectomy, you can still eat oil, that is, foods containing fat.
Just finished the operation, how should I arrange my diet?
With the improvement of surgical techniques, the trauma of gallbladder surgery is getting smaller and smaller. Under normal circumstances, doctors will arrange to gradually resume diet after the patient’s intestines and stomach resume movement, that is, start farting, according to the patient’s condition.
If laparoscopic surgery is performed, you can eat 2 days after surgery. If it is an open operation, it usually takes 3-4 days to eat.
The order of resuming diet is from thin to thick, specifically as follows:
1. Clear liquid: Start eating clear liquid, that is, rice soup.
2. Liquid: If you don’t feel stomachache, swelling or diarrhea after drinking rice soup, you can change it to liquid, that is, porridge and lotus root starch. The side dishes can be pickles with less oil.
3. Semi-liquid: If there is no problem with eating liquid, you can try semi-liquid, that is, rotten noodles and wonton. According to each person’s different situation, it usually takes 1-2 days to make a transition.
4. Normal diet: There is no fixed timetable for this transition, which should be based on everyone’s appetite and recovery.
If there is any discomfort during the transition period, the increase in food should be suspended, and if necessary, the food can be returned to the front thinner diet.
General surgery, if the patient can eat semi-liquid food, and no what uncomfortable, can be discharged normally. Some patients recover relatively slowly, can also go home and slowly recover. Of course, the requirements of each hospital are different, listen to the doctor’s arrangement.
How to eat after returning home from hospital?
After discharge from hospital, the diet of patients after gallbladder surgery should follow the principle of balanced diet, which is also a few key points in the latest dietary guidelines. (I don’t know if I can click here)
As the ability of some patients to digest fat may be weakened after surgery, the intake of fat in food should be appropriately reduced, such as reducing the use of oil when cooking dishes, making food without frying or frying, and reducing the intake of fat meat and animal viscera.
However, don’t blindly pursue a light diet and fear the intake of fat and protein. You can eat less and eat more, recover slowly and ensure a proper amount of protein intake.
Should I drink more soup to replenish my vitality?
After the operation, family members all hope that patients can strengthen nutrition and recover as soon as possible. Before discharge, you can see fish soup and chicken soup taking turns to urge patients to drink more. In fact, there is no need to do so.
No matter laparoscopic or transabdominal surgery, the recovery after the operation cannot be too hasty. During hospitalization, it is still necessary to follow the doctor’s diet and doctor’s advice. It is not recommended to supplement immediately after the operation, which may bring a lot of pressure to the intestines and stomach. If you want to add extra food, it is better to ask a doctor and take light and less oily food as the best.
After following these, for food, as long as there is no obvious diarrhea, belly distension and other discomfort, you can rest assured to eat, don’t always worry about this and that, so that you can recover your health as soon as possible. Therefore, although there is no [courage], you can also enjoy health and delicious food.
