Can I eat shrimp after lung nodule surgery?

Generally, patients can eat shrimp after lung nodule surgery, but in moderation. The detailed explanation is as follows:

After lung nodule surgery, patients are in the recovery phase and require adequate nutrition to support wound healing and immune system restoration. Shrimp is a high-protein, low-fat food rich in essential nutrients such as high-quality protein, minerals, and various vitamins, all of which positively contribute to postoperative recovery. The tender texture of shrimp makes it easy to digest and absorb, placing minimal burden on the gastrointestinal tract of postoperative patients. Moreover, lung nodule surgery primarily involves the respiratory system, and consuming shrimp does not directly affect this system. If the patient is not allergic to shrimp and has normal gastrointestinal function, moderate consumption will not negatively impact surgical outcomes or overall health.

After surgery, patients should focus on maintaining a balanced diet, increase intake of fresh fruits, vegetables, and foods rich in high-quality protein, and maintain regular作息 (sleep patterns) and a positive mindset to promote comprehensive recovery.
