After surgery for gastric perforation, what is vomited should be undigested food, accumulated fluid, gastric acid, etc. Therefore, patients should avoid coarse grains and hard foods after surgery, as well as excessively cold or hot foods. It's also important to avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, as alcohol consumption is particularly harmful to the body; thus, patients with gastric perforation should take this seriously. Patients are advised to strictly follow medical instructions regarding medication after surgery and ensure adequate rest.
