Appendicitis?Diet? What should I eat after the surgery?

Answer 1

Even after your doctor gives full permission for you to eat, you may have little or no appetite. Begin slowly by offering clear liquids, such as broth, juices, and herbal teas. To allow your gastrointestinal tract to readjust to food, gradually work up to a full diet. Prepare whole, well-cooked foods that are full of the many vitamins and minerals your body needs to heal and regain energy.

Homemade applesauce and soups are excellent "starter" foods. Also, foods that are high in beta-carotene, such as squash and cooked greens, are also important. You want to avoid gas-producing foods such as nuts and legumes at least for the first two weeks after surgery. No matter what advice given, please consult your doctor for full dietary list. Your body is different from everyone else's and you may be taking medication that none of us are aware - so be sure your doctor has given you a list of foods you can eat.

Twenty-4 hours is slightly extreme. the universal admonition is twelve, and no fluids for no less than six hours before the scheduled surgical procedure. This precaution is geared in route of minimizing the opportunity of vomiting at the same time as less than anesthesia, and is meant to evade a threat aspiration of the vomitus, that can convey about lung infections and, in extreme cases, death by asphyxia.
