Features of the diet and general recommendations
This diet lasts an average of 2 weeks. It necessarily includes 3 stages: the first day after the operation, the next 2 days after the surgery, then the next week (or more). In each period, the number of permitted products increases. The program changes from very strict to a gradual return to the usual diet. Nutrition during the therapeutic diet should be fractional, food should be warm.
Basic nutrition after surgery
The most severe and difficult stage is the first day of recovery, when any liquid and food are prohibited. Allowed only to moisturize your lips, rinse your mouth. This is required in order for the body to focus on healing internal wounds, and not to digest food. On the second day, thirst is quenched with small sips of still water. As a rule, the body still “requires” food.
If the patient does not feel pain, nausea, his temperature does not increase, you can drink a few sips of hated and non-greasy chicken broth, rice broth, slightly sweet natural jelly on the second day (a “chemical” product is prohibited).
On day 3, subject to stable well-being, they begin to eat grated semi-liquid food: vegetable / potato / squash / pumpkin soups to taste.Mashed potatoes, boiled "mucous" porridge (hercules, rice). You can thoroughly grind them with a blender. You can’t add milk and fats, as well as fry foods. Allowed natural yogurt with 0% (or 1%) fat and no additives. You can eat a few tablespoons of boiled chopped chicken breast.
If recovery goes without negative manifestations, in the next week, a sparing diet becomes more diverse. The components of the dishes should be lean, in the form of cereals, liquid soups. This facilitates the work of the digestive tract. Preference is given to decoctions, meat or vegetable broths. Sometimes thicker dishes are introduced into the diet.
Fatty meat can be difficult to digest, so choose chicken, turkey fillet for cooking. These species are considered the most dietary, they are easily and maximally absorbed. After surgery, many have very little or no appetite. If there is no temperature, nausea, pain - it’s worth eating and drinking a little. Food will give strength, will contribute to rapid rehabilitation.
The principles of nutrition that are adhered to, starting from the fourth day after the operation:
- Continue to use semi-liquid soups of mashed vegetables: carrots, potatoes, zucchini, beets. Add a little rice cereal. The combination of vitamins A, C promotes tissue regeneration. All components are cooked until cooked and grind, slightly adding to the broth.
- It is useful to introduce into the dishes a little fresh, but not spicy greens (dill, parsley), which is good for digestion.
- Throughout the day, they drink clean portions of water (non-carbonated) in small portions, herbal decoctions, non-acidic and not very sweet compotes, and natural juices. Purchased can be dangerous when the body is weak. The total daily volume of fluid is about 2 liters.
- In case of a negative reaction to the listed ingredients (vomiting, pain), consult a doctor, exclude the product-irritant for a while.
- Natural non-acidic curds without additives, kefir, yogurt are considered easy to digest. They are introduced into the menu on the 3rd day (if there is no rejection of the rest of the food).
- The body's reaction to bedtime and medication is sometimes constipated. Fiber will help “run” the intestines. Use dried fruit puree, carrots, baked apples (without filling), well-boiled rice, buckwheat, oatmeal. And a rosehip broth also helps. Introduction to the diet of these products must be discussed with your doctor.
- Use porridge from fresh pumpkin, mashed potatoes, well-boiled pieces of the fruit. Vegetable is a source of vitamins E, B, A, K. The last element improves blood coagulation, and the same component T “tunes” metabolic processes, improves the absorption of food.
- The presence of complications during and after surgery can greatly reduce the list of acceptable dishes.
- If the purulent appendix has been removed, they drink the maximum amount of antibacterial decoctions of herbs. The list of permitted plants is also negotiated with a specialist.
