Patient's question:
I just had a C-section five days ago and I'm worried about eating things I shouldn't. So, I want to know what I can eat five days after a C-section?Doctor's answer:
After cesarean section, you can start drinking liquid food six hours post-surgery. On the fifth day after cesarean section, you can eat noodles, spinach, tomatoes, and other fresh fruits and vegetables. Cook them until they are soft and then eat them. You can also eat dumplings, cakes, soups, and pressure-cooked pork ribs. Soft meat is also suitable.On the fifth day after cesarean section, it is recommended to get out of bed and exercise to promote intestinal peristalsis, prevent constipation, and avoid postoperative complications. Eat more fish, beans, eggs, and lean meat to enhance nutrition.
