The diet after appendicitis operation?

If the symptoms of appendicitis are mild and there is no abdominal infection, you can generally give a liquid diet after the first day of surgery 1 day, and then gradually transition to a semi-liquid diet, and gradually transition to a normal diet about 3-7 days after surgery. In addition, if the symptoms of appendicitis are serious and lead to abdominal infection, you need to fast for 2-3 days after the operation. After the abdominal infection disappears and the intestinal peristalsis resumes, you will be given a liquid and semi-liquid diet, and then slowly transition to a normal diet.

Appendicitis patients should try to eat a diet rich in protein, dietary fiber and vitamin C after the transition to a normal diet, as follows:

1, protein-rich diet: such as millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, pork liver soup, crucian carp soup, black-bone chicken soup, etc., rich in high-quality protein and amino acids, which can properly supplement the nutrition lost by patients after operation and have certain benefits for wound recovery;

2, diet rich in dietary fiber: such as spinach, tomatoes, broccoli and so on. These vegetables are rich in dietary fiber, which can lubricate the intestine, promote the peristalsis of the intestine, keep the patient's stool unobstructed after operation, and are more conducive to the recovery of the body;

3, a diet rich in vitamin C: such as some fresh oranges, kiwis, apples and so on. These fruits are rich in vitamin C and trace elements, which help to inhibit the proliferation of intestinal bacteria, promote intestinal peristalsis and promote wound healing.

In addition, the diet after appendectomy should be fresh and light as possible. Try not to eat some spicy food, keep a regular routine in daily life, and avoid staying up late and being tired. You can also do some exercise properly, such as walking and jogging, which will help your body recover faster.
