    1. Food

    1. Eggs

    Eggs are rich in high-quality protein and multiple vitamins, which help in postoperative tissue repair. When gastrointestinal function is weak after surgery, it is recommended to choose boiled eggs or custard and avoid fried cooking. People who are allergic to eggs should avoid it, and the daily intake should be controlled at 1-2 eggs.

Raw and cold dishes such as sashimi should be avoided within two weeks after surgery, and patients with gout need to control the frequency of consumption.

    3. Broccoli

    4. Banana

    The potassium ions and pectin contained in bananas can replenish electrolytes and protect the gastrointestinal mucosa, making them suitable as a post-operative snack. Diabetic patients should choose bananas that are not fully ripe and should not consume more than two bananas in a single day.

    5. Oats

    The beta-glucan contained in oatmeal can enhance immunity, and it is recommended to cook it into paste and eat it. People with gluten allergies should choose gluten-free oats, and the amount consumed each time should be controlled to 30-50 grams in the early postoperative period.
