Patient's question:
33 days after the subtotal gastrectomy, I have been discharged. I would like to know if drinking calcium-fortified milk, sweet taste enteral nutrition powder, and eggs will interfere with the incision site. If there is any impact, I hope the doctor can recommend a few options for me to have additional meals.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you have completed a subtotal gastrectomy 33 days ago. The calcium-fortified milk powder and enteral nutrition powder you mentioned, apart from the protein powder, can be consumed without interfering with the wound. Given this situation, it is recommended that you pay close attention to a liquid diet as the foundation after surgery. Try to avoid foods that are difficult to digest, and focus on a light diet. Avoid spicy and irritating foods as much as possible. It is essential to maintain regular bowel movements and drink plenty of water. You can also eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
