After breast cancer surgery, when patients resume a normal diet, they can follow these principles to promote their body's full recovery.1. Dietary diversity and balanced nutrition
A balanced diet is the best way for cancer patients to maintain a normal weight after surgery. The diet should be balanced, diverse, free of picky eating or food restrictions, and include a mix of meat and vegetables as well as coarse and fine grains. When cooking, prefer steaming, boiling, and stewing, and minimize fried foods.
2. Appropriate dietary restrictions
Breast cancer patients should follow dietary restrictions after surgery. Post-surgery, patients should avoid foods that are spicy, warm, fried, greasy, rich in meat, stale, moldy, or prone to generating heat and phlegm, as these can impair spleen function. Specifically, avoid raw garlic and onions, pork from nursing sows, pumpkin, strong alcohol, as well as foods that are hot in nature, fried, greasy, rich in meat, stale, or moldy.
